Support your meditation practice and connection with the subtle body through hasta mudras and pranayama.

 

In this Meditation workshop, we will be exploring subtle body energy through our breath and the placement of our hands. Our fingers have a large number of nerve endings that play a big role in how we sense the world around us, as well as provide a means of communication to our brain and body. Placing our hands in these mudras, or gestures, can help us connect with core qualities that already exist within us, such as contentment, compassion and expansiveness, that are aligned with our true being. Exploring mudras can also support our breathing practices, balance our energy, and foster an awareness of our lived experiences in our body during meditation.

 

The workshop will open with an introduction and some gentle movement followed by a guided meditation with mudra to support awareness of your breath. Opportunities for personal journaling and a short group discussion will be offered to support integrating meditation into your day-to-day life. Participants will leave with handouts to support their home practice.

 

The spring is here and each day you may be noticing new green sprouts pushing up from the soil towards the sunlight. In our March 30 Meditation workshop, we'll shake off what's left of our winter hibernation and connect to the earth element quality of stability in order to cultivate our own growth and engagement with the world around us.
