$25 (early bird exp. 2/23/21)
$32

Yin Yoga benefits connective tissue because postures are held, creating stillness in the mind, body, and spirit. That stillness can allow vibrations, energy, and prana (life force) to resonate within. During this workshop the healing vibrations of the Tibetan singing bowls will allow you to explore the powerful effects of Yin Yoga. Together we will create a space where the body, mind, and spirit are renewed and revitalized. Includes Yoga: All Levels

Mindfulness Meditation for Emotional Regulation – 4 week course

Enroll

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

$130 Early bird, exp. Feb 23
$140 Regular cost

4 week course – Tuesdays March 9, 16, 23, 30

Mindfulness meditation is ultimately a discipline of liberation from suffering. Mindfulness practice guides us to an inherently therapeutic perspective on the nature of knowing and encountering ourselves. In so doing, the ability to experience afflictive emotions are transformed into an experience of growth and durable self development. Suffering is diminished and replaced with skills that allow access to a deeper level of being whose inherent nature is happiness. This workshop is intended as an introduction to those meditative practices and skills necessary to regulate emotion.

This workshop is held on 4 consecutive Tuesday evenings for two hours. It is primarily experiential but some written, visual and lecture material will be provided. Ample time for questions will be scheduled. Prior meditation experience is preferred, you should be able to meditate comfortably for 30 minutes. If you are a beginner I can provide you with some recorded scripted meditations before hand that you can practice.

FREE Introduction: To learn more about this upcoming 4-week Meditation workshop attend the free Introduction to Mindfulness Meditation session on Tuesday, March 2, 4:00 – 5:00pm PT
