Saturday, October 29 2:00-6:00pm



Mountain Yoga is delighted to welcome esteemed yoga and meditation instructor Mary Paffard back this fall for FIRE: Meditation-in-Asana, one of her seasonal series of workshops that draw on meditation, asana and the five elements.  Mary has chosen fire as her inspiration for the month of October, the energetic metaphor for action, clarity, alchemy, purification and transformation.

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. Each workshop will use one of the five elements as a guiding theme. 


Workshops may be taken individually, although registration in the complete series is strongly recommended in order to reap the full benefit of the teachings. One year yoga experience recommended.  

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.  Having completed Spirit Rock's 2-year Dedicated Practitioners Program in 2006, Mary includes meditation and silence in many of her workshops, and teaches yoga asana on meditation retreats of senior vipassna teachers. www.maryyoga.com
