About the event
Friday, Aug 19th 6:30-8:30pm
Metta Physical Yoga
Metta or Loving Kindness Meditation is an inspiring Buddhist technique to condition the mind to be more
compassionate and accepting. Eoin has created a fluid combination of this ancient and powerful meditation
with Breath and Vinyasa Yoga. We work so much on our outer muscles in yoga class, this workshop goes
further to make sure that our muscles of kindness are stretched and strengthened as well. Expect an
enlivening Blissology discussion, a soulful yet intensive vinyasa yoga practice with a long restorative
savasana and a centering meditation. Get in touch with the big picture. What matters more than the love we
all share?
Saturday, Aug 20 1:00-3:00pm
Ecstatic Backbends using Blissology Alignment Principles
Learn how find freedom, joy, and movement in your yoga asanas and
discover why the word ‘backbending’ should be removed from yoga lexicon. To call a yoga asana a backbend
is misleading since what we are really doing is creating an evenly distributed lengthening in the fibers of the
front body without creating any compression in the joints of the back body.
We will break down what Tension and Compression mean and understand why they are so integral to the
yoga poses and the aging process. Use Eoin’s powerful insights to create a safe, therapeutic, and ecstatic
pose.

Sunday Superflow™ Ocean Inspired Yoga
*Need headset mic and good sound system
Flow is the essence of our being. It involves being present to every breath that we take and to our collective
universal breath. In alignment-based flow yoga we move in a linear synchronicity, patterning our bodies to
the alignment of yoga asanas. While this moving in a linear fashion is incredible learning and discipline, we
tend to focus on this disciplined learning of movement, while ignoring our innate developmental movement
patterns, the spiraling, circular forms of movement that are essential to our innate selves that we call “Super
flow.” Drawing inspiration from Yoga, ancient martial arts, dance, surfing, ski and snowboard maneuvers,
Super Flow is an ecstatic form of movement. Set to music, it starts off slowly allowing ourselves to feel
centered and open in our bodies. Gradually we build up in intensity, spiraling back in touch with the joy of
movement. Superflow is not a replacement of Yoga as we know it, but a powerful complement to the regular yoga
practice. Offering a little more exuberance and a little less introverted energy. It complements static
movements with rhythmic flow. You will sweat, release, and feel the life force pulsing through you.
