Yin/yang Yoga Workshop With Master Paulie Zink December 5, 2009
Sanford, Florida 32771
TAOIST YIN AND YANG YOGA
TEACHER TRAINING / STUDENT INTENSIVE
In this workshop we will explore:
Yin Yoga- Postures of stillness for promoting growth, clearing energetic blockages, and enhancing circulation.
Yang Yoga- Postures for developing core strength and muscle tone, balance, and stamina.
Flow Yoga- Including both Yin and Yang yoga, Taoist Flow is more than just a sequence of postures. In Taoist Flow the process of transition from pose to pose is as much a part of the practice as the postures themselves. Taoist movement incorporates continuous, smooth and circular motion that promotes relaxed confidence, fluidity and grace in the body.
Taoist Alchemy- Cultivating and harmonizing the five elemental energies contained in the body and its energetic field.
***Students who attend Paulie’s seminars are invited to practice at their own level of skill. There is absolutely no pressure to perform beyond one’s comfort and limits.
COST: $200.00 before september 15th or $235.00 thereafter
