Yoga & Meditation

Yoga

Yoga is a mind body discipline offering immense physical, mental, emotional benefits. There is no flexibility needed to start! The yoga postures, breathing techniques, and centering practices are tools to help the physical body gain strength and flexibility, and to release stress and tension. Ultimately, as we travel the path of yoga, we realize that the yoga postures are simply tools for inner connection, an opportunity to explore the inner anatomy of one’s body, mind, and soul from moment to moment. Allow your posture practice to be a curious unfolding of how your mind naturally reacts to challenges, both physical and mental, that come up as you engage on the mat.

Meditation

Meditation is a beautiful process of creating peace within. Through concentration or simply learning to be the witness to your thoughts or your breath you can activate a path of healing inwardly which will transfer to your life outwardly. Meditation is a metaphor for life; it teaches you to stand in your peace while the fluctuations of life pass. It is a practice of training the mind, releasing past and future. Meditation takes you into the now. With this realization the battle between opposing, dualistic thoughts ceases and we are brought into a place of acceptance, knowing that there is nothing to fear and nothing to run from but only this moment to be totally enveloped in.
Meditation has been scientifically linked to stress reduction, pain relief and balancing blood pressure among many other benefits. Let us help you to cultivate a practice with others and on your own.
