Meditation in Motion: A One-Day Retreat
April 28 | 10:00-4:00
Meditation and Yoga are essentially synonyms. It’s common to think of meditation as sitting still, and yoga is a lot of moving, sweating and stretching. But in practice they complement and each other. Approaching our moving yoga practice as a type of meditation can leave us in a profound state serenity.
Join Michael Peterson for a one-day retreat to explore common yoga movements as a foundation for meditation, plus yogic breathing techniques, seated meditation and guided relaxation. We’ll begin with some discussion about what meditation is and what it is not so bring any questions or issues you’ve had with the practice.
"Meditation is integral to yoga. Because people are different, various approaches have evolved to suit their needs. Seekers should experiment with a variety of techniques until they find one to their liking. But if there is no mediation in the practice, it cannot be called yoga.” - Swami Kripalu
This retreat costs $85, $75 for members.
