SANGYÉ SESSIONS: MIND TRAINING FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL BEINGS

Extended Class(es) with Cat Alip-Douglas

The Three Marks of Existence: characteristics that are common to all phenomena: (1) impermanence, (2) unsatisfactoriness, (3) nonself. The 3 marks of existence are taught as the foundation of right view in all Buddhist traditions. In later Mahayana Buddhist teachings, they were expanded into the 4 seals.

Over the course of the two extended classes, we will touch upon the three marks and how we can observe their presence and confirm their relevance to the practise as well as in life. The third session (on Saturday) will be a continuation of the teachings as we recap and a deeper exploration, culminating with a contemplative meditation.

The asana element will focus on an all around mindful (deep and slow:) balanced practice with techniques to bring awareness into some of the seemingly routine movements.

Be prepared to work hard and simultaneously find contentment in it! The third session will not involve an asana practise.

ABOUT CAT: The Journey from Condé to Sangyé From the fashion floors of Condé Nast in New York to the wooden floors of Sangyé Yoga School in London, cat had officially traded in her Manolo Blahniks for a more 'grounded' approach to life...in bare feet.

Cat is originally from New York City where she discovered yoga on Lafayette Street and has been calling London home since spring 2004. She feels privileged to have been involved with Jivamukti Yoga London (est. 2005) from its inception and as it continues in its current incarnation, with more of a Tibetan Buddhist influence, as Sangyé Yoga School. She and her husband assumed responsibility of the space in West London/Kensal Road in May 2010 when the founder of JYL, Manizeh Rimer entrusted them with its continuation in service to the growing community of yogis who understood the distinct correlation between practice and life. This was further accentuated and seen as an opportunity to apply teachings IRL through pandemic times.

If titles collected along the way bear significance or interest (in no particular/special order): Advanced Certified Teacher (Jivamukti), Senior Yoga Teacher (Yoga Alliance UK) and Co-Director/Co-Guardian alongside Phil of the space that is Sangyé Yoga School in London. 

Long life to His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso…may he continue to teach and inspire through his humble yet powerful presence, a living bodhisattva among us.
