Through the practices of Iyengar Yoga and Zen meditation, we explore what it means to live with steadiness, clarity, and compassion. In this retreat, we will utilize alignment and awareness as gateways to presence, cultivating a body that is grounded, a mind that is quiet, and a heart that is open.
Each day will include asana (yoga postures), pranayama (breath work), and zazen (sitting meditation). Together, we will investigate how these disciplines support one another, revealing the interconnection between physical stability and mental stillness. In the peaceful setting of Tassajara, surrounded by mountains and streams, we can return to the simplicity of direct experience and the refuge found in awareness itself.
All levels of yoga and meditation experience are welcome. Prior study with a Certified Iyengar Yoga Teacher is helpful but not required. Athena offers in-person and online classes for those who wish to become familiar with her teaching before attending the retreat. Book at www.tinyhavenyogasf.com.
