Maitri: A Yin Yoga Workshop with Alex Argo
“You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe deserves your love and affection.”
~ Buddha
Maitri is one of the four virtues of Buddhism. This Sanskrit term translates to loving kindness, compassion and equanimity. The practice of Maitri asks that in order to be genuinely loving and compassionate towards others, we must first cultivate these qualities towards ourselves.
Join Alex Argo for a special 2-hour Yin Yoga workshop in honor of Valentine’s Day. In this workshop, we celebrate the relationship with the self, by turning the gaze of loving kindness inward, as we will yield into postures held in attentive stillness. These postures will target the energetic pathways that support the flow of love in all of its forms, cultivating compassion and acceptance towards one’s self.
This workshop will be offered both in-studio and virtually through zoom. The in-studio class will be limited to five students to provide space for social distancing. Masks are required for in-person classes, regardless of vaccination status.
In honor of Galentines' Day, a portion of our proceeds from this workshop will be donated to support the award-winning after school arts programming that A Company of Girls has provided FREE to young girls in Portland for over 25 years.
