“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.

She is currently the kitchen manager for SF IYI and IYI retreats. Before heading the IYI kitchen she cooked for many years in retreats centers, cafes and restaurants..

Satsang: Finding The Gifts In Crisis

Donations welcome

The present global conditions have interrupted our patterned and habitual ways of living. They’ve forced us all to slow down. And they’ve brought our interconnectedness into sharp relief.
Let’s come together to explore how we can use this time to deepen our practice, realign with the Divine, and play our part in humanity’s transformation. We’ll also share practices that help to relieve stress, anxiety, and overwhelm and increase gratitude, presence, and peace.
