“What is meditation? Why would I want to do it? I’ve tried, but my mind just races, and I end up giving up. Meditation is just not for me.”

Perhaps you have heard yourself saying something like this. In this 8-week course, we will demystify this ancient science and learn the fundamentals of establishing a successful practice. We will learn the importance of breath and how it relates to the stress in our lives. We will learn how small changes can
make a big difference in how we relate to ourselves and the world around us.

This course is for everyone and no prior experience is necessary.

*Prerequisite Intro to Meditation or approval by instructor

In this class, we will continue to deepen our practice. In this 10 week session, we will experience Yoga Nidra, a state of deep relaxation, providing our body and mind the optimal opportunity to conduct its important maintenance and repair work. We will work with our breath through Pranayama, the vital link in calming the mind and then go into our Meditation practice. A Meditation cushion is recommended or if you require a chair, one will be provided.

This program is for anyone who has some tai chi experience and wants to improve their physical, emotional and spiritual balance.

Our 8-week yoga-play curriculum balances bodies and brains as children discover yoga through yoga-inspired games, stories, poses, and mindfulness exercises. The three pillars of our program are fitness, focus and fun, with an emphasis on the fun!
