Friday, Sept. 26, 6 - 8 pm - Mindfulness Meditation (discussion & practice) Part I
What motivates you to start a meditation practice? Manage stress? A desire to relieve physical or mental “suffering,” or out of an intellectual curiosity to know what is real? Or both?
Saturday, Sept. 27, 11 am - 12:30 pm: Present Power Practice.
Get your fire going, renew your energy, and rekindle your passion for practice with this well-designed and balanced sequence of postures (asanas) from a traditional practice, easily accessible for all ages and bodies.
Saturday, 2 - 4 pm: The Yoga Lifestyle - Secret to Longevity.
The yoga lifestyle is the perfect formula for living a long, healthy, and happy life. Explore the commonalities of long-lived people all over the world – from movement and meditation to managing stress and connecting with community. Don’t miss the opportunity to be a part of the vibrant Heartsong sangha, a “right tribe” of like-minded souls who support your healthy behavior. This is not an "asana" practice, (yoga practice) and we will spend this time talking about longevity and the yoga lifestyle, with Q & A.
Sunday, Sept. 28 - 7:00 am - 9:00 am: Mindfulness Meditation, Part II
Many people say they are too busy, or too stressed to have time to meditate. Meditation is not a “something” that you are adding to your life. It is subtracting, not adding. It frees you from the non-stop wasted energy of being lost in thought, about the past or future. Meditation is not something that happens “outside” the rest of your life. Once you learn how to meditate, and it is a learned skill, meditation can be part of every aspect of your life.
