Signature Protocol
Insight Yoga
An integration of active flow, alignment-based practice, and floor-based Yin postures, often using blindfolds to bring senses inward.
Protocol Anatomy
Insight Yoga weaves together traditional Hatha styles with Buddhist mindfulness and Yin Yoga principles. Founded by Sarah Powers, it is a comprehensive practice that exercises the heart, mind, and body equally. Sessions often include dynamic yang flows followed by passive yin holds, culminating in meditation (frequently using eye-coverings to shut out external stimuli). This practice encourages a radical turning-inward, cultivating a deep state of self-inquiry and emotional clarity.
