Meditation

In Sanskrit the traditional term for breathing practices is  Pranayama. Literally translated as "life force control" or "expansion of life force," Pranayama is a very versatile practice that can be easily applied in everyday life. The beauty of breath is that we all have to do it to live, but it is often something that we don't think about. Breath has a powerful impact on our mind and is one of the most important aspects of yoga.

​

In our privates together we can explore a wide range of breathing practices that can help you achieve your relaxation goals. Not only will you be learning Pranayama skills, but also learning the basics of meditation.

Guided meditations are one of the best ways to begin developing your meditation practice. Having a guide  to lead you through meditation is very helpful because you have something specific to continually draw your attention back towards. There are many different types of guided meditations that we can try to train your  your concentration skills. However, above all we will focus on growing your connection to your breath through Pranayama exercises. 

​

In our sessions we will start with a short movement sequence to build heat and energy in the body. After cultivating this energy it is channeled into your meditation practice. Even if you have never meditated before, just one practice will leave you feeling centered and refreshed.

​

Often termed as "sleep yoga," Yoga Nidra is an amazing restorative and meditative practice. Practitioners are guided through a body scan meditation to center our mind on the present moment. As your conscious mind begins to relax this guided meditation takes you on a journey through the different levels of consciousness. Yoga Nidra is a fully conscious but deeply relaxed state of the mind. 

 

Wake up feeling physically and mentally refreshed, more creative, and more centered with your inner goals. It is a practice for anyone who needs some more relaxation in their life.
