Meditation & Yin 75
with Andrea Dorosh

The benefits of meditation have been scientifically proven and include but are not limited to:

In this class we begin with a seated meditation to focus the mind and drop into a deeply relaxed state within the body.  You will be provided with verbal guidance to help align you first with sensation in the body, followed by awareness in breath and exploration of stillness and the space within that experience.  We will move from meditation into a shorter yin practice with an emphasis on spine, to stretch the body and enjoy the sensation of breath and body from this heightened state of awareness and deeply restful state.

It is common to experience discomfort both within the body and mind when you are first establishing a meditation practice.  Over time you will develop your ability to focus your mind and sit with discomfort and the experience will become more comfortable and familiar.  You will find that your ability to listen and be present will improve.  You will gain strength in the muscles that support your spine and flexibility in your hips. 

 

You will also discover the joy and value of simply ‘being’ without needing to ‘do’ and the importance of connecting to the intelligence and intuition of your deepest self.  

You may want to bring your own meditation cushion if you have one at home for the practice.  If you are unable to sit on the floor, please notify the instructor so that appropriate modifications can be made.

In our world so often over-saturated with stimulation and noise, this is a time to soak up stillness and quiet, recharge your battery and discover the benefits of meditation in your life.
