Not for absolute beginners
We have all felt that in our daily lives we sometimes need an energetic boost, while other times we feel like seeking out a calm, quiet rest. Both these tendencies are aimed at bringing our bodies and minds toward a state of balance, or homeostasis. In this workshop, we will learn how we use breath, postures and sequences in vinyasa yoga to generate equilibrium and steadiness in our bodies, thoughts and actions. We will explore some of the ways in which poses and counter-poses can be used to equalize our muscular, skeletal and nervous systems and bring us toward greater equanimity.
A dynamic and enlivening vinyasa-based class will prepare the body for moving into deeper, longer held postures. A restful and rejuvenating finish will be followed by a heart-focused meditation. Whether a beginner, intermediate or advanced practitioner, the intention is to take each individual to the state where boundaries and limits may be skillfully explored. With effort and grace, this yoga workshop can help clarify the ways in which anyone can achieve greater equanimity and calm.
Mimi has been practising Yoga for 15 years and teaching for the past 8. Her approach draws from the principles of mindful Vinyasa Yoga, dance and Taiqi/Qigong. Her two main teachers in the Yoga world are Erich Schiffmann and Donna Farhi. She also draws inspiration from Max Strom, whom she assisted through his 200-hour Yoga Alliance teacher training program, Matthew Cohen and Sarah Powers.
Her classes tend to be a balance of active, flowing practices and quiet, receptive pauses. She believes Yoga cultivates well-being, creativity, awareness, and an overall zest for living; it is an accessible practice that anyone, regardless of experience or physical condition, can find beneficial. Mimi is a Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) as well as the co-founder of Yoga Yard, a studio in Beijing, China, where she taught for 7 years before moving to London.
