Finding consistent energy for yoga and meditation, as well as dealing with what comes up in practice, are challenges we all face. Sometimes we may feel blocked, scattered, or too rough around the edges to effectively integrate our practice into our lives.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>

<p style="line-height:1.38"><span style="font-size:12pt; font-variant-ligatures:normal; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-position:normal; white-space:pre-wrap"><span style="font-family:&quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif"><span style="color:#222222"><span style="font-weight:400"><span style="font-style:normal"><span style="text-decoration:none">With yoga and meditation we can cultivate a beautiful tranquility in the body and heart. We will explore how each practice enriches the other, contributing to a sustained calm that can change the way we live and our perception of the world around us.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>

Through the cultivation of unconditional love, compassion, sympathetic joy, and equanimity, we give ourselves the space to be with how we actually feel, to meet that with a kind awareness, and to find a greater capacity for positive emotion.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>

<p style="line-height:1.38"><span style="font-size:12pt; font-variant-ligatures:normal; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-position:normal; white-space:pre-wrap"><span style="font-family:&quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif"><span style="color:#222222"><span style="font-weight:400"><span style="font-style:normal"><span style="text-decoration:none">We will explore restorative yoga, yoga nidra, and the mindful movement of slow vinyasa. Vinyasa emphasizes the importance of breath with movement, and develops a strong foundation for any yoga practice.&nbsp;</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
