You begin with ambition of some kind. Then, at a certain stage, meditation becomes instinctive. Then you cannot not meditate – it happens to you.” – Chogyam Trumpa

This ongoing group meets on the 3rd Wednesday of each month to explore and refine aspects of our meditation practices – how we sit, why we sit, and how that relates to our lives. The format consists of a group meditation with some direction, a talk on a related subject and a question/answer session with sharing.

 

Prajna took her first yoga class in 1970 in southern California. Later that year she came through the doors of the Berkeley IYI, and since that time she has loved Integral Yoga. Over the years she has maintained an active involvement in movement, healing, and meditation. She has practiced yoga, tai chi, and various dance forms; co-authored two best selling books on Holistic Health; lived and danced flamenco in southern Spain; and since 2000, has taught Rosen Movement. In 2010, she completed her IYI Teacher Training at Yogaville, and began teaching yoga. She brings to her teaching four decades of meditation practice, the last twenty eight in the Buddhist tradition.

Attuning to the wisdom of the body/mind and opening to the present are the foundations of both Prajna’s teaching and personal practice.

Yoga for Grief & Loss

$45 | Please register in advance, a Zoom link and passcode will be provided via confirmation email.

Yoga Therapy Clinic presents:

Grief, loss, and trauma are some of the most difficult experiences imaginable. When you have experienced loss so profound there is no “getting over it,” you can only learn how to hold and carry it. Join author, psychotherapist and yoga therapist Karla Helbert for a time of connection and learning as you explore how the tools of yoga can support you through heartbreak and loss.

We will engage in discussion, movement, meditation, chant and yoga nidra (yogic deep relaxation) in our exploration of supporting our broken hearts through the tools of yoga. You will also begin to learn how each branch of yoga can support you on your journey and how each of the koshas (our layers of being) and the chakras (energy centers) can be impacted by experiences of grief, loss and trauma.

3 hours CEUs Yoga Alliance, available upon request, email: karla@karlahelbert.com
