Move & Meditate

Having trouble building a meditation practice? Don't know where to start?

So many of us find meditation impossible, too agitated by our busy minds. Or maybe our bodies are too sore to sit for long. This class addresses both of these barriers, helping warm up the body first, and then teaching you how to sit with whatever the mind is offering today, without resistance.

Our mat-based class begins with a slow and mindful awakening of the body through simple asanas (postures). Then we'll find a supported and comfortable seat -- with use of props -- to practice the three building blocks of meditation in yoga: Pratyahara (turning inward), Dharana (Concentration), and Dhyana (Meditation).

We'll explore different kinds of yogic meditation and learn that the practice isn't about rigid focus, but returning again and again.

We leave ten minutes at the end for questions about technique or home practice. The class is accessible and beginner-friendly! Meditation is guided, and we'll routinely return to the basics.
