Introduction to Meditation Workshop


Saturday, June 7th 10AM-12PM


Are you interested in beginning a meditation practice but not sure how to start? This workshop will guide you through the very basics you need to know to get started on a regular meditation practice from the Hatha Yoga tradition.  The workshop will cover:


-Why meditate? Learn what recent research has to say about the benefits of a regular meditation practice.

-What is meditation? Learn what meditation is and is not. We will discuss the different styles of meditation (breathwork, mindfulness, guided imagery, mantra, chanting, using mala beads, etc.). You will learn which types of meditation may work best for you. 

-Guided practice of mindful breathing meditations or pranayama, seated meditation from the Hatha Yoga tradition, gentle asana or movement between meditations and a guided Yoga Nidra.

-Learn the basics: creating a meditation space at home; choosing a comfortable seated position and the placement of hands or Mudras; and the recommended length and frequency of practice.

- Workshop price includes a meditation CD to help you begin a regular practice at home.

Cost is $80 for the two hour workshop. Pre-registration is required as space is limited.

  1. Hi,i really appreciate your article.I have some words to share.Meditation is basically relaxation time, so it ought to be carried out altogether whenever it seems best.Thus, after the Meditation you do well now, for the subsequent Meditations,pick a time when you know you are not prone to be bothered and are allowed to unwind and appreciate.The hours of sunrise and sunset, while nature moves in the middle of day and night, are likewise perfect for the practice.Have a nice day.
