In this 2-hour workshop we will practice gentle and restorative yoga to allow the body to find ease followed by guided meditation practice on the heart space, to help feel the heart and open its doors.

In Sanskrit, this practice is called Hridayākāsha Dhārāna, concentration on the bright space in the heart which is at the center of our being and the core of connection to ourselves. This powerful ancient practice is still so current and provides us with inner strength. Talk and discussion will be included as well as suggested ongoing practices supporting cultivation of kindness and compassion towards oneself and others.
