Native Yoga Toddcast: Exploring the Depths of Yoga with Marilyn Haifa
Exploring the Depths of Yoga
In the Native Yoga Toddcast episode featuring Marilyn Haifa, we delve into her yoga journey and the transformative power of energy in yoga. Marilyn is a professional yoga teacher who has dedicated her life to sharing the practice with others. With over 15 classes a week, she has honed her skills and developed a deep understanding of the mind-body connection.
Marilyn's yoga journey began with a Bikram yoga class 14 years ago in San Diego. From the moment she stepped onto her mat, she felt an immediate connection and knew she had found her calling. This initial experience sparked a love for yoga that has only grown stronger over the years.
The Power of Energy in Yoga
As Marilyn continued to practice and teach yoga, she became increasingly aware of the energy flowing through her body. She delved into the study of meridians and acupressure points, incorporating this knowledge into her teachings. Marilyn's understanding of energy has evolved over time, becoming more refined and controlled.
Through her own personal healing and clearing, Marilyn has developed a deep trust in the power of energy in yoga. She has learned to control and direct this energy, creating clarity and transformation within herself. This understanding has also allowed her to guide her students in tapping into their own energy and experiencing the benefits of yoga on a deeper level.
Extreme Yin Yoga Workshop
Marilyn's upcoming workshop, Extreme Yin Yoga, aims to take practitioners to new depths in their practice. The term "extreme" refers to the longer holds in yin poses, challenging practitioners to watch their minds and go beyond their comfort zones. Marilyn believes that by holding poses for longer periods, practitioners can tap into the deeper layers of their being and experience true release and transformation.
In addition to the longer holds, Marilyn incorporates meridian slapping activation techniques in her workshop. These techniques awaken the yang energy in the body, preparing it for the deep release and opening that comes with the yin poses. By combining these techniques with the extreme yin practice, Marilyn creates a powerful and transformative experience for her students.
