Fall into meditation

Meditation is an inextricable part of yoga but is largely absent in modern yoga studios.

You may be asking Why?  

One of the recent Student Yoga Study graduates said, "Meditation is not as sexy as the physical practice".

I agree with them.  It isn't as sexy as the physical practice and trying to meditate without a physical practice is next to impossible to do.  

And, most yoga teachers don't meditate themselves and simply don't know how to lead students in meditation. 

Meditation is becoming more 'mainstream' virtually, however, meditation has evolved through the presence of a teacher and is most potent when led by an experienced teacher surrounded by others tuning into the frequency of consciousness. 

Isn't it true that we all want to be happy and feel like who we are is important as well as feel as if there is a purpose to our lives?

And this yearning is what propels us to seek and at its core, this seeking is what the spiritual journey is all about.   

We all know that yoga is proven to help mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually but the real question is, why do you pursue yoga?

I bet your physical practice alone is doing a pretty good job of helping you get in touch with your emotions about your present life circumstances and helping you on some level, isn't it?

And, there is still something inside that needs more...

I'm here to help you discover the answers to some of those questions this fall by coupling your existing physical yoga practice with meditation.  

When meditation is coupled with a physical practice, the benefits to the mind, body, emotions, and spirit will be palpable.  Your connection with what the yogis call 'The 5 Koshas' will deepen allowing you to feel more whole and less fragmented.  Your energy will begin to brim and your overall feeling of wellness will help to dissolve fears opening you up for more bliss and joy.  

For this reason, I dedicate a significant portion of The Student Yoga Study RYT200 to meditation.  The meditation portions of the training will be open to students not participating in the entire Student Yoga Study eager to develop a meditation practice. 

You can join all 23 meditation sessions spanning from the first Saturday gathering on September 28th until the final Sunday gathering on December 15th for only $199 or pick and choose for a drop-in cost of $25 per session.  Your normal class packages do not apply to this specialty class.

I will lead the participants through 3 fundamental meditations.  

The first meditation is called 'Sat' and helps to clear the mind.  'Sat' meditations will be on Friday evenings from 6:30- 7:30 p.m.

The second meditation is called 'Chitta' and will center you.  This meditation will be offered on Saturdays from 7:00 a.m. - 8:00 a.m. and the third called, 'Ananda'  introduces you to the blissful body and will be offered on Sunday mornings from 7:00- 8:00 a.m. 

Sat Chit Ananda is loosely translated into English as 'Conscious Eternal Bliss'. 

Certain sessions will be recorded and available upon request.  

The meditation session locations will be available on the Mindbody app and web scheduler with the location, time, and date.
