Mandala Vinyasa Masterclass with Madeline Diaz Meiners

Join Madeline Diaz Meiners for this 3hr workshop on Mandala Vinyasa and Yin Yoga Meditation. This workshop suitable for those with previous Vinyasa Flow experience, will introduce you to the beautiful practice of Mandala Vinyasa. 

The Intention of the Mandala Vinyasa practice is to honor the creative energy in all its manifestations. The practice integrates the spiral patterns that nature uses to shape and create the material and energetical substances into our bodies. It opens us into deeper introspection as we move and expand around the mat, while exploring circular movements with our bodies. It leads us into places that perhaps our awareness would not have access to by following a linear pattern. The power of this practice resides in the fact that it follows a specific purpose and methodology. This can be a peak asana, a specific chakra or a particular element. The clear intention of the practice allow us to revisit groups of muscles or target areas of the body that will help us reach our goal. This repetition is a constant massage that starts with the Sun Salutes or Warm Up and is reinforced in different perspectives in the Standing and Seated Series, creating familiarity and comfort in its objective. Towards the end of the workshop we will move into the calming practice of Yin to balance and restore the energies within.

This workshop we will focus our intention for practice on the the Water element. 

​The element of Water is linked to the Svadhisthana chakra. This second or sacral chakra, located around the lower belly which represents fluidity, sensuality, joy, an ability to ‘go with the flow’, freedom, as well as the power of creativity. Every time we connect to water and raise its energy within us, we also enhance these qualities in our minds and bodies.
