Slow down and reconnect through a peaceful, mindful walking practice. Take a gentle walk through the woods, practicing presence, breath awareness and appreciation for each step. No meditation experience is necessary – just bring comfortable shoes, and open heart and a willingness to slow down. Each session will focus on a different theme. In the event of inclement weather, class will be held indoors.
June 18: Walking Meditation: Ahimsa
Ahimsa, the first and foremost of the five yamas (restraints) of the great sage Patanjali's eightfold path as described in the Yoga Sutras, enables us to live in such a way that we cause no harm in thought, speech, or action to any living being, including ourselves. In its purest form, ahimsa is the spontaneous expression of the highest form of love - universal love, kindness, compassion and forgiveness - an unconditional sense of belonging to everyone and everything.
Additional single-session classes are scheduled for:
July 19: Focus on Santosha
August 20: Self Actualization
