Mountain Yoga is delighted to welcome esteemed yoga and meditation instructor Mary Paffard back for the winter offering in her seasonal series drawing on meditation, asana and the five elements.  This session Mary will focus on the element air, associated with movement, vibration, respiration, circulation.  Air's qualities of lightness and mobility lend it to an exploration of heart-lightening poses, backbends and pranayama.  The workshop will include options for those not inverting or doing active backbends.  The seated meditation will begin with a breath focus and this will be woven into the entire practice.      

What does yoga as meditation really mean? How can one cultivate kindness and ease in the posture and a moment to moment awareness in even the most challenging of asanas? How does meditation help bring our practice off the mat and into our day to day lives?  Mary will answer the above questions and share the gems that her study of Buddhism and many cycles of retreat and silence have brought to her asana. One year yoga experience recommended.  

Mary Paffard Mary Paffard had beem practicing yoga asana since the early 70s, when she discovered Buddhist Vipassna meditation ten years later,  which radically changed her yoga practice and teaching.  A graduate of Spirit Rock's 2-year Dedicated Practitioners Program, Mary now teaches yoga on meditation retreats of senior vipassna teachers. www.maryyoga.com
