ether: 
meditation-in-asana
a seasonal series 

with mary paffard
Saturday April 28, 
2:00-6:00pm

Mountain Yoga is delighted to welcome esteemed yoga and meditation instructor Mary Paffard back for her final offering in her seasonal series drawing on meditation, asana and the five elements.  Mary will culminate her series with the element ether, regarded as the most subtle and pervasive of the five elements, and the space which contains the other four.

This workshop will focus on the anatomical seat of ether,  the throat, and will include neck movements, sarvangasana, sirsasana, and an emphasis on the emptiness of the central channel. Exploring space within and without the body creates a quiet ease and receptivity conducive to the meditative process. Options will be given to those not doing active inversions.    

Meditation-in-Asana
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 has 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
