Awakening the Sacred: Anusara Yoga and Meditation

Yoga as a physical and metaphysical discipline invites us to experience ourselves and the world with profoundly fresh and expansive awareness.

Meditation serves as the tuning fork for awareness, reminding us of the vast silence from which all thoughts, sensations, sounds and seasons rise.

This weekend includes practices in asana, pranayama, chanting and meditation and discussion of the philosophy of yoga applied to day-to-day life. Our explorations will include the teachings of the Brahmaviharas (the divine qualities of the heart) as an invitation for creating a practice that serves both our own highest unfolding and the community in which our “yoga off the mat” has the greatest impact. Bringing together yoga practice with contemplation of the dharma, this weekend will be a renewal for your body and a re-inspiration for your mind and heart. All levels are welcome with separate beginner and intermediate sessions.
