YINSPIRATIONAL JOURNEY with MICHELE SAPANARO: Sunday, October 14th
Yin Yoga is a meditation for the body. Through the practice of long held postures targeting the connective tissue of the low back, hips and hamstrings, Yin Yoga asks the practioner to slow down and create space for stillness. Working from the outer body back to your core, this practice explores the relationship between the form of the physical poses and the formless states of
meditation and absorption.

Part III: Sunday, November 18th, 3:30-6:00 pm
These workshops explore the intricate relationship of joints, muscles, and the lines of myofascia that link throughout the body and give the keys to understanding postural alignment and engagement.

GLOBAL MALA NJ 2012 PEACE EVENT: Sunday, September 23rd
Dear Yoga Synthesis Community,
Come join me for another fun and exhilarating experience at Global Mala this year! I'll be there guiding sun salutes just like the last few years. Starts at 9am! We do a lot of them, but it feels great if you pace yourself. Everyone does them as few or as easy as they want. Getting through 108 sun salutes for the first time is very fulfilling. It will definitely be an exciting experience being in a whole new venue as well.
