8th March

Nyin-Dah Yoga Studio wishes to

all YOGINIS

a wonderful and proud 8th of March!!!

(International Woman's Day)


Scholars have described yoginis as independent, outspoken women with graceful spirits, without whom yoga would fail to achieve its full, fruitful purpose.
A Yogini is the sacred feminine force made incarnate: the goddess of mythology as well as the ordinary human woman who is enlightened, both having exuberant passion, spiritual powers and deep insight, capable of giving birth to saints, peacemakers, Yogis and other Yoginis!

GET INSPIRED and live life fully!

"Rouge" (1994) - Movie screening Saturday 6th March after class

Saturday 6th March
17h00
at Nyin-Dah Yoga Studio
after the 15.00-16.30 yoga class
we will project "Rouge" (1994) from Kieslowski's triology "Three Colours".

Although Three Colours is a trilogy, there is no need to watch "Bleu" to understand "Blanc" or "Rouge".

In the 3rd part of the trilogy, “Rouge” ( = red), there is a variety of interpersonal connections between the characters transmitting the film's theme: fraternity (humanity and respect for every living being).

Red is one of the strongest colours that exists. It represents love, anger and passion. As in the previous two films, the red colour is present throughout the whole movie (advertising banner, car…).

In “Rouge”, Kieslowski uses numerous techniques to communicated moods and ideas to finally express the aim and common unifying theme of the entire trilogy, which one could consider to be love.This is the last of the three movies, and for that, it holds the end of the trilogy. The last scene may therefore answer some questions…

"Blanc" (1994) - Movie screening Saturday 27feb after class

Saturday 27feb
16h45
at Nyin-Dah Yoga Studio
after the 15.00-16.30 yoga class
we will project "Blanc" (1994) from Kieslowski's triology "Three Colours".

Although Three Colours is a trilogy, there is no need to watch "Bleu" to understand "Blanc".

"Blanc" (white in English) is the second movie of the Three Colours trilogy and illustrates the second theme: Equality.
As with “Bleu” and “Rouge”, “White” contains numerous images that at first appear not to be connected but are actually flashbacks or flash-forwards to the other films in the trilogy.
There is frequent use of its title colour, too. This transmits a white mood, alternately hopeful (clarity, innocence…) and cold (snow, stone, the pigeon droppings that rain on Karol early in the film…).

For the music, this time Preisner will capture us under a white embrace…You’ll have to judge the rest on Saturday… Kieslowski has always a surprise for you…

"Enlighten up!" (2008) - Movie screening Sunday 7feb 19h00

Sunday 7feb
19h00
at Nyin-Dah Yoga Studio
we will project "Enlighten up!" (2008) , a funny movie about yoga.

We will order food to have dinner after the movie.
Please, arrive on time, since the door must be closed for security reasons.

About the movie:
This is quite a funny movie about a stereotypical western-minded someone trying to understand yoga. To me, the most valuable point of the movie is to see the actual famous yoga masters sharing their commentaries and opinions.

Here is the synopsis taken from the official webpage:
Filmmaker Kate Churchill is determined to prove that yoga can transform anyone. Nick Rosen is skeptical but agrees to be her guinea pig. Kate immerses Nick in yoga, and follows him around the world as he examines the good, the bad and the ugly of yoga. The two encounter celebrity yogis, true believers, kooks and world-renowned gurus. Tensions run high as Nick’s transformational progress lags and Kate’s plan crumbles. What unfolds and what they discover is not what they expected.

Featuring: B.K.S. Iyengar, Pattabhi Jois, Norman Allen, Sharon Gannon, David Life, Gurmukh, Dharma Mitra, Cyndi Lee, Alan Finger, Rodney Yee, Beryl Bender Birch, Shyamdas, Diamond Dallas Page and many more!
