We welcome you again this January Full Moon to a soothing, releasing and deepening Yin Yoga & Meditation Workshop with Benedicte Alice Kapur, Saturday 11th January, 8:00 pm to 9:15 pm

In our busy, modern lives, the dynamic Yang energy, associated with the Sun, often overcomes our everyday lives. Yet our yoga practice, just like our bodies and our lives, yearns to find balance. We need the restful energy of Yin, which is associated with he Moon and is also tranquil and introverted, here we can find the necessary counter-balance to dynamic Yang activity and practice.

Yin Yoga is a long slow practice. It assists with deepening your postures and encourages an understanding of meditation and stillness through yoga. Yin yoga involves different poses typically held for 3-5minutes, accessing deeper layers of the body and introspection into your inner self.

This is a perfect practice for letting go, breathing through sensations, and allowing powerful transformation and healing to take place, both in body and mind. Yin Yoga is at its most powerful during the Full Moon.

“Where there is a flower, there are thorns. You got to stand out as individual in consciousness in total control of your emotions. Test yourself: can you control your emotions, or do the control of emotion is with the emotions?” -Yogi Bhajan

Most people are looking for a happier life with their inner richness and qualities thriving. But short of emotional balance, they fail to achieve this. Emotional maturity is the key to happiness and must be based on a dynamic inner balance.

Our ‘e-motions’ are Energy in Motion: internal movements of our own mental and physical energy.

Learn to balance and direct the flow of e-motions with specific Kundalini yoga kriyas and meditation; so that what tends to overwhelm you can become a strong current that carries you to yourself.

There are no levels in this school of yoga, beginners and advanced practitioners are welcome.

About the workshop:

Luz Meditation Immersion with Yash in Dubai at Karma Yoga (Feb 2nd & Feb 3rd)

Luz means light in Portuguese .You are invited to the Luz Meditation Immersion where you will learn ,practice and experience the many dimensions of the Luz within us .

When you see that the light filtering through the clouds is also in you, you’ll know: you can’t lose what’s inside. You can’t lose who you are. So, let your light shine. Be the sun in someone else’s storm. It’s part of why you’re here.There’s light buried in your soul: the same light that gives life to everything around you.

When you see yourself in everything, in the light rising through the curtains and the stars studded in the sky, the world is a brighter place.Things are a little less dark. You remember how strong and resilient you are. Because: you’re life, you’re here, and you’ve got stardust in you.

So, when life feels too hard and the world feels hopeless, take heart. The best gift you can give everyone around you is your own courage to shine, to help, to rise, to be true to who you want to be, to love: even still.

Take heart, because what’s inside is the most powerful force in the universe. Call it Luz,call it light, call it potential, call it whatever feels right to you.And let your light shine the way toward a life that feels like it’s meant for you.
