A Six-Week Journey into Practice, Presence, and Inner Transformation
The beginning of a new year can be an invitation to pause, reflect, and renew our commitment to what matters most. Whether you are new to meditation or longing to reconnect with a practice that has fallen away, this six-week journey with Diana Meltsner offers an opportunity to begin again. Together, we will explore the practice and theory of meditation as a systematic and transformative way to cultivate and steady the mind, deepen self-awareness, and bring greater inspiration, meaning, and presence into daily life.

The course will be grounded primarily in Yogic and Upanishadic teachings and methods of meditation, while also introducing selected practices and perspectives from Buddhist meditation and Christian contemplative traditions. As we cultivate awareness and stillness, we create space to reconnect with our heart and soul and awaken the divine attributes of mercy, peace, and joy within us.

“When the mind, one-pointed and fully focused, knows the supreme silence in the Heart, this is true learning.”
— Sri Ramana Maharshi

Each session will include teachings, guided meditation practices, and opportunities for discussion and reflection. Participants will also be invited to explore optional weekly challenges designed to support the integration of meditation into everyday life. Throughout the course, you will be encouraged to develop a personalized meditation practice that is sustainable and supportive of your authentic way of life.

Explore the timeless practice of self-inquiry through a guided meditation inspired by Jnana Yoga, the path of wisdom and Self-realization. Using the contemplative question, “Who am I?”, we gently turn our attention away from thoughts, roles, and identities toward the silent awareness that underlies all experience. Rooted in the teachings of the Upanishads, the wisdom of Ramana Maharshi, and Swami Sivananda’s approach to Jnana Yoga meditation, this practice invites you to expand your awareness and rest in the Heart—the source of pure Being—and experience the peace, clarity, and unity that emerge when the mind becomes still.

Yoga Therapy for Posture and Core Health

ONLINE & IN-PERSON with Diana Meltsner, C-IAYT, ERYT-500, YACEP

$40 | $35 Early bird, exp. 5/17/26.

Book now/Online
Please register in advance; a Zoom link will be emailed 1 hour before the session, or join Zoom directly via your Momence dashboard.

Book now/In-Person
We appreciate advance registration.

Join Diana Meltsner, a certified yoga therapist, for an educational workshop exploring the relationship between posture, core function, and musculoskeletal health. We will examine how core stability supports balance, lumbar spine health, ribcage alignment, the reduction of shoulder and neck discomfort and more. The workshop will include lecture, guided practice, and discussion, with content adapted to participants’ interests and needs.

We will look at the anatomy just briefly and then in movement we will recognize and feel the different parts of our body being in or out of alignment in our posture, the inner core activation and core’s engagement works together with the rest of the body. This regained awareness can be applied to gentle yoga asana, advanced asana practice as well as body movement off the mat.

Topics will include:

  • the relationship between alignment, strength, flexibility, and patterns of tightness or weakness
  • postural organization with and without effective inner core engagement
  • compensatory movement patterns contributing to chronic pain and injury
  • progressive and gentle methods to retrain the body, to activate and strengthen the core
  • how much to practice to restore and maintain functional strength

We will practice a series of awareness-building and gentle strengthening exercises for the core and address common challenges. Practices will be done in a chair, standing, and on the floor. All levels are welcome.

This workshop will be recorded and available to all enrolled students for two weeks.
