ABOUT YIN YOGA:
The qualities of yin are soft, cool, empty, slow, and receptive--these are ideal conditions to come out of the doing mind and into the being body, and allow the wisdom of the plants to move through you. The postures of yin are low to the ground and are held, in stillness, for at least 3 minutes, to allow deep relaxation of the body and mind. It is recommended to delay eating a large evening meal until after class; drink and eat lightly in the hour before practice.

Practice will begin with guided relaxation, and an invitation to let the consciousness expand inward. As we change postures, our consciousness also changes. We will move through several asanas, holding each posture for at least 3 minutes. Practice will end in an upright position, with a short pranayama (breathwork). You are invited to meditate or take savasana following the close of class.

YOUR TEACHER:
Geneva Wilgus will be your yogini way-shower for this practice. She is a 300RYT with over 550 hours of yoga training. Yoga, particularly yin, has been a keystone practice for her own psychedelic integration, and she is delighted and honored to show the way and hold space for others.

DONATION:
This class is donation-based. Your generosity goes toward a scholarship fund for mystics desiring to schedule a sacrament ceremony and requesting financial support. Thank you for your generosity.

HOUSEKEEPING:
🌀Join a few minutes early; we will begin promptly at 7:00pm so we can end promptly at 7:40pm.

🌀It it best to have cameras on. This creates community, and allows Geneva to observe your form, making suggestions for greater ease, safety, and deepening. Microphones off. We will practice silence as much as possible, turning the senses inward and retaining the energy of our observations by keeping them to ourselves.

🌀Be in a quiet space where you can be undisturbed for 30 minutes. Be on the floor for a firm surface, on a yoga mat or thick blanket. If you have a small pillow and/or blanket to use for props, this will make your practice even more delicious.

🌀Delay your meal until after practice. Drink and eat lightly (or not at all, if appropriate for your body) in the hour before practice. This allows greatest comfort for your body, and a deeper experience for your mind.

🌀Lastly, you are invited to leave behind your Evaluator--the part of you that is self-assessing and judging. Step into a practice that is uniquely and perfectly yours. This practice is 100% about how it feels, and not at all about how it looks. Listen to your body and honor how it feels. Open your heart and mind to the flowing wisdom in your body, and go deeper.

"Be still,
Find the silence within yourself,
And gently hold it.
Do this, and all is yours."
-Lao Tzu
