Equanimity, or Upekkha, is a heart practice from the Buddhist teachings that keeps us still in the midst of chaos. It protects the heart from going into envy, the excitement of joy from becoming agitated, and compassion from sliding into pity. It stays present to whatever is arising without judging or reacting. 

For those of us who are yoga teachers, health care providers, educators, social workers, and in other healing and caretaking roles, we are conditioned and even trained to hold the hearts and suffering of others, when they’re simply not ours to hold. 

As our global community navigates this time of transition, we might be exploring how to emerge with grace as we heal from the impact of a period of collective trauma. 

This workshop will be rooted in the Buddha’s teachings and will include a Dharma talk, formal meditation practice, a Yin Yoga practice, and a dialogue about how we take our practice off the cushion and into the world.

Recommended props: a few blankets (one to lay on; yoga mat optional), and two blocks for yin practice

A recording will be made available to registrants for two weeks following the workshop.
