Yoga and Meditation: A Path to Renew and Restore

Despite immense challenges facing us on so many levels, our world today offers an opportunity for unprecedented personal and global evolution. It is an invitation to all of us to draw on our inner resources, strengthen our commitments to life and the health of our mind, body, and spirit, and ultimately the health of Mother Earth.

In yoga traditions there is an archetypal trilogy that represents the cycle of life: Brahman, or Creation; Vishnu, or Preservation; and Shiva, or Destruction. According to these teachings we are in a period of Shiva, the destruction that includes rebirth into new life. Using this archetype as inspiration, renew and restore yourself through yoga and meditation practice. By letting go of the old world, we open up to new creative possibilities.

Yogic practices help maintain strength and clarity as we embody and prepare for inner and outer transformation. Our tools include:

• Meditation: the relaxation of the mind and opening to the silence within

• Asana: physical postures that strengthen the body, release emotional tension, and cleanse the body/mind

• Pranayama: breath techniques that calm the nervous system

• Restoratives: postures that creates a deeper sense of awareness through profound relaxation

The calling is to be present and to celebrate as we let go and expand, relax, explore, and accept. A new world is being born!

Bring your own yoga mat and eye pillows.
