The Wednsday evening yoga class has been discontinued, as of Nov. 6th 2024, but the Tuesday morning class is still going strong. Please bring a yoga mat if you have one. If not, we have a limited number to share. Please do not attend if you are sick.
Mindfulness Yoga is the practice of watching the breath and body to bring about Yoga, or the union of body, breath, mind, and heart. Mindfulness Yoga allows us to experience the adventure of living in the Present moment, thereby enjoying calmness of mind (including feelings) and compassion for the body.
Although posture practice plays a vital role, we engage in Mindfulness Yoga as a practice that includes standing, walking, asana (posture), movement, lying down, and sitting. In both activity and stillness, we can witness the breath or consciously use the breath and body to increase awareness of the Present.
This class bears fruit for beginners and seasoned practitioners alike. Most classes will consist of 15 minutes of stillness/relaxation and settling in, 40 minutes of posture/movement/walking, and 20 minutes of relaxation and sitting practice. Giving the body our full attention is the key to experiencing joy, one of the many gifts this practice bestows.
“With breath, body, and mind I send my heart along with these words.
May all who read them awaken from forgetfulness, and,
realizing the true nature of no separate self,
transcend the path of fear, sorrow, and anxiety.
May all beings be free.
