YIN & MUSIC - Yoga with Live Concert - Fall Equinox Edition
With Ayane Kondo and Mina Lange
September 22nd 2024
17:00 - 18:30
Sarasvati Yoga Berlin
Ayane and Mina invite you to a transformative experience where live music and yoga come together in celebration of the fall equinox. This 90min yin yoga class is accompanied by a live percussion and hammered dulcimer improvisation to create an atmosphere of surrender, compassion and clarity to find gratitude for the summer months that have passed and to transition gracefully into the darker months of the year.
Yin Yoga is a style of yoga, where we hold poses for longer periods of time (2-5min) in silence, to access the deeper structures of the body. Through the stillness in the body, we open up our inner senses and access deeper meditative states.
The hammered dulcimer is part of an ancient percussion instrument originating from Iran, which evolved into the piano in the Western musical tradition. The improvisational approach allows the music to breathe with the yin sequence.
This class is accessible to people without any prior yoga experience as all postures as can modified with props that are available in the studio. If a pose does not work for you or you feel the need to come out earlier, you always have the agency to do so.
