Meditation Course with Lakshmi Begins

7:30pm - 8:30pm

Meditation is your natural state, one that exists within you already. The practice of meditation and concentration calms the turbulent mind so this natural state of bliss, calm, contentment and knowledge stands revealed. The secret to success is constant practice. In this 6 week session of classes we will learn through practice and direct experience ancient and proven techniques for stilling the mind. Perfect for beginners or advanced students.

Six week course - Wednesdays: May 22 - June 26

$72 for the 6-week course

Parent and Toddler Yoga

3:00pm-4:00pm

Parent (Mom, Dad or other caregiver!) and toddler will participate in this sweet class together. Classes include asana (done side-by-side and, when possible, as a partner with your child), calming breathing practices for everyone, and mantra.

This class is designed for caregivers and toddlers who have aged out of Mom & Baby classes but where the child is too young for an independent children's class. We ask that at least one adult be present with each child (though if you have multiple children please feel free to contact the School and we will do our best to accommodate). Toddlers can be busy, and practice will be kept flexible to accommodate energy levels and curiosity of the little ones! For parents, we hope this practice provides opportunity for community with other families in the welcoming practice of yoga.

$10 per parent
