ARE YOU READY TO LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE in 2020? Of course you are! And we are here to support you work on every level of you being.
This luscious Yoga Taster session is a SUPER DEAL to kick-start an incredible upcoming WINTER Term 2020! $16 Early Bird ( $20 at the door); this is a $7 SAVINGS on the usual rate for single Meditation sessions, so don't miss out. (OR, if you are interested in FOUR Yoga Tasters on January 4, 10, and 11, for JUST $30--a truly amazing opportunity!--be sure to sign up for THIS $30 TASTER PASS here.)
This is a special ONE DAY ONLY 60-minute session so you can sample the most important (because this is the TRUE purpose of yoga practice!) of all my courses at AHA Yoga, MEDITATION for Calm, Focus, & Inner Joy. Read more about this exciting course here! It is a wonderful doorway to meditation if you are looking for healing or to start a regular practice, or a marvelous way to deepen and re-commit if you already practice meditation regularly. Meditation allows you to fully rest the body and refine the mind so you return to your life more present, capable, and focused.
This approach to meditation begins with a brief philosophical discussion, then into formal practice of breath awareness & training (strengthening the diaphragm), a few tension-releasing stretches, then guided systematic relaxation, pranayama (disciplining the breath with precise techniques), and then finally a comfortable seated position for a guided meditation that ease-fully leads you into a relaxed state of mind as we then sit together in silence.
Note that this special Single Session is offered for $16 EARLY BIRD ($20 at the door), a $7 SAVINGS on the usual Casual Class rate ($23).
