“To study the Way is to study the self. To study the self is to forget the self. To forget the self is to be illuminated by the ten thousand things.” - Dogen

Sooner or later, our spiritual journey will open us to a profound and mysterious question: who, or what am I? All of the world’s great wisdom traditions assert that the self we take ourselves to be is not who we truly are. Some traditions say, “there is no self.” Other traditions say, “the Self is all there is.” It can be a more than a little confusing.

In this workshop, we will dive into a contemplative exploration of the self in a way that both honors our unique identities and also opens us to a more absolute truth about our nature. Side effects of a deep understanding of the self include: lightness of being, peace, joy, love, connection and happiness.

This 2 hour workshop will include a Yin Yoga practice, dharma teachings and discussion. All levels are welcome. Book now - spaces limited.

What is Yin Yoga?

Yin Yoga is a complementary yoga practice to more dynamic and active yoga styles. In Yin Yoga, floor postures are held passively for several minutes in order to access a safe and positive ‘stress’ on the deeper layers of connective tissue in the body.

Physically, Yin Yoga restores and maintains the natural mobility of the joints, primarily between the navel and the knees. Energetically, Yin Yoga opens the body’s meridian system, which enhances the body’s energetic flow and supports emotional equilibrium.

Yin Yoga emphasizes stillness and silence. The practice prepares both the body and mind for deeper experiences in meditation.


Josh Summers’ Bio

Josh is a Yin Yoga teacher, a licensed acupuncturist, and a meditation instructor. Josh began studying Iyengar yoga in the early nineties with James Murphy in New York City. Since then, he has spent several years living abroad in India, Taiwan and Burma where he has studied both yoga and meditation. As his interest in vipassana or insight meditation developed so too did his interest in more contemplative forms of yoga practice. With a professional background in Oriental Medicine and a personal passion for the dharma, Josh fell in love with Yin Yoga as a beautiful synthesis of the two.

Josh founded the Summers School of Yin Yoga and now teaches workshops and trainings internationally.
