Stephanie’s intention is to offer guidance, support, and encouragement as we meditate together. The meditation hour will consist of three components: 1)Guided meditation: The guided meditation portion can be done in a restorative posture as well as seated. We will be using a systematic approach that encourages the mind to relax and the body to rest. 2)Gentle yoga: We will take time in between the two meditations for gentle movement and simple yoga postures. 3)Seated meditation: I will teach and together we will practice a simple technique for seated meditation. We will learn to work with the mind (thought) and the body (emotion) rather than against them. The seated meditation can be done on the floor with support or in a chair. There will be time allowed for reflection and questions. With this class, I also hope to support students in a home meditation practice as well.
