Guest Teacher Program
Yin Yoga and Mindfulness Immersion Retreat
with Marije E. Paternotte
February 25 – March 4, 2023
You are invited onto the path of Metta and Karuna; an exploration of Loving Kindness and Compassion. Practicing yoga and meditation – especially in a retreat setting – is a radical act of self-care. Loving kindness, Metta, is embedded in our nature and seeks to be expressed. It is the foundation of our practice and reminds us to take care of our body, mind and heart. Through our practice Loving Kindness naturally leads to Compassion, Karuna; the desire to act to alleviate the suffering of others. This way, our practice does not only benefit ourselves but all beings.
This Immersion Retreat is for serious practitioners and yoga teachers who enjoy the practice yin yoga as a doorway into Mindfulness Meditation and Buddhist practices. The retreat format of this program that includes two days of silence, will lead to deeper understanding of a practice that is solidly rooted within.
