Sarah Powers - Insight Yoga Heaven - Balancing Yang Energy DVD

Mingling Heaven and Earth: Balancing Yang Energy

Insight Yoga recognizes that our health and vitality depends on a free flow of energy in both our lower body, the earthly 'yin' region, and our upper body, the heavenly 'yang' region.
The practices on this DVD cultivate a balance of these two vital forces by enhancing the Earthly grounding aspects of our nature, using a combination of yoga movement, held postures and skilfully guided meditations.
