EASE INTO DHYANA (Meditation) with Alë Veffer Saturday Sept 15 from 1:30 PM - 4:30 PM at Yoga Santosha Kensington. Taking the time to rest into ourselves is so important. We live in a very fast paced society and the best recipe for balance is an ancient one. Deepen your knowledge of what Dharana (concentration) and Dhyana (meditation) are and how they relate to your yoga practice. Dharana and Dhyana are the 6th and 7th limbs of Patanjali's 8 limbs of Yoga. ...Patanjali is known for codifying Yoga, (hundreds and hundreds of years ago) and is the author of 196 verses that weave the art and science of Yoga and the pathway to inner freedom. In this workshop we begin with gentle movement to prepare the body, then we will explore and work with a few simple pranayama (breathwork) techniques to clear the mind. We will then be guided into a blissful gentle meditation. Some of the meditation will be seated and some will be lying down. This will be followed by some quiet reflection and then a brief discussion/question period. Come as you are and leave feeling lighter and clearer. No previous meditation experience required. All levels welcome. $40/person (please bring a journal) Sign up at the studio or on line. See more
