morning meditation
Learn to Meditate class is a blend of stretches, asanas, pranayama, concentration/meditation, and deep relaxation to support and strengthen your body, mind, and soul. The participants would chant syllables such as A, U, M, and AUM for relaxation and soothing vibrations. AUM is a simple syllable that helps in calming the mind. These mantras are positive affirmations of peace that wish health, happiness, and harmony for the individual, society, and the universe as a whole.
Our goal is to bring the practice of yoga and meditation to people of different walks of life and teach them tools to become happier individuals leading to a happier and more compassionate society.
We invite people of all faiths, orientations, and traditions into our classes.
