***PPY will donate 100% proceeds from this workshop to Western North Carolina yoga communities needing hurricane relief.***

During the time of year when the normal order of the universe is suspended, experience the duality of light/dark, yang/yin, and masculine/feminine with PPY Founder and Creative Director, Sherry Lankford. This class will integrate somatic movement with yin, and conclude with a guided Yoga Nidra meditation through consciousness and unconsciousness that ends in sacred savasana. Sherry holds specialty Yin Yoga and Yoga Nidra certifications and offers workshops like this one seasonally to incorporate other styles of yoga into the studio to balance your power practice.

Expect somatic movement (yang energy) integrated into slow, deep yin holds (yin energy). This offering is narrated with stories from ancient yoga philosophy and folklore on a day celebrated by cultures around the world in honor of our dearly departed ancestors. The spiritual intention of this practice is to awaken your own spirit and yogic powers (siddhis) while honoring those who have left the Earth. Then, Sherry will guide you in a Yoga Nidra (yogic sleep) meditation and a sacred savasana to drop the solidarity of your physical body and explore the deeper energetic sheaths that surround your soul.

Bring any items you wish to offer to the sacred alter that we’ll build as a group. This can be your favorite spiritual item or memento to honor a departed loved one.This workshop is not heated and no experience required.

Preregistration is required. This annual workshop is $45 with unlimited members receiving 15% off.
