Description:
Meditation is an ancient technique and system of training the mind, body, emotions, and spirit to be
calm, centered, focused, relaxed, present, and in harmony with self and others. This practice leads
to improved physical health, mental clarity, emotional stability, and spiritual fulfillment. In private
instruction or class, you will learn and practice basic techniques of concentration, mindfulness, and
meditation with primary attention focused on your breath. You will learn how to apply meditation in
your daily life with the ultimate goal of self-realization. Classes will include the philosophy and
psychology of meditation practice, an overview of meditation practices, relaxation and breathing
exercises, gentle yoga stretches, and meditation techniques.
Benefits:
The practice of meditation is therapeutic, healing, and calms the mind. It improves mindfulness,
focus, and concentration; increases awareness, intuition, and insight; enhances energy and
creativity; reduces stress, tension, and reactivity; manages anger, anxiety, depression, and pain;
lowers and balances blood pressure; strengthens the immune system; leads to inner peace, and
awakens the connection to your inner essence or spirit.

Marga Society, Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health, Siddha Yoga Dham Association, Himalayan
Institute of Yoga, The Hard & The Soft Astanga Yoga Institute, Insight Meditation Society,
