Title:

Soothe Your Insides: Mindfulness and Metta

Type:

[C] The Divine Is Within / Contemplative Spirituality

Level:

All Levels

Length:

1.5 hour(s)

Description:

The hidden magic of Yoga is when the practice helps us find a better sense of inner balance and equilibrium. It’s this process of becoming a better, kinder, and more compassionate friend to ourselves that makes the practice truly healing. When practiced in this way, pranayama (yogic breathing) and mindfulness meditation practices can be like little internal, invisible asanas that we do within ourselves throughout the day whether on or off our Yoga mats. In this class, we will briefly discuss the neurologic framework of mindfulness meditation and how yogic breathing techniques influence the physiology of our respiratory systems and support a wellness-based lifestyle. We will then practice a variety of easy and applicable classical yogic mindfulness techniques (that can be done seated or lying down) designed to provide each person with a first-hand experience of Yoga’s deep and intimate relationship with mindful breathing, stress-reducing relaxation, soulful inspiration, and inner ease and peacefulness. The practice will culminate with a traditional extended metta/maitri loving kindness meditation in savasana meant to help soothe your insides..
