Beginner or advanced practitioner, join us in meditation.
We offer guided meditations throughout the day to provide a moment of stillness, space and solitude. Classes are schedule to bookend your day, your movement classes and for convenience to or from work.
Meditation Classes
Meditation: (N.) a deliberate training that awakens us beyond the conditioned mind and habitual thinking, and reveals the true nature of reality.
Guided Meditation
Meditation classes are crafted as 20-minute guided experiences, scheduled around our movement classes, to make the practice even more convenient.
If you invested in a movement class, you already made the investment for meditation, you get to show up early or stay late!
The styles of meditation we practice…
Mindfulness
A form of awareness practice, which allows us to become intimate with the present moment.
Follow the breath in one of three areas: nose, chest, or stomach.
Can “count” the breath or use a focusing phrase (i.e. “in, out,” “rise, fall”).
May include variations like sound awareness, body scans, or mindfulness of thoughts and emotions.
Metta
Also known as “Loving Kindness.”
A compassion/heart-opening practice.
Directing kindness to yourself, loved ones, neutral people, difficult people, and eventually, all beings everywhere.
Repeat each phrase with as much sincerity as possible.
Mantra
A form of focus/concentration meditation.
Mantras are chosen for vibrational quality, rather than meaning.
Allow the mantra to naturally relax the mind.
In practice, allow the mantra to flow naturally and easily -- “as if you're listening for it, rather than repeating it.”
