Join us this Sunday from 1-3 pm as Leaflin leads you through a Pranayama, Mantras, and Meditation workshop. In this workshop we will:
~ discover the meanings of the words “pranayama” & “mantra”, what these techniques are and how they can assist in meditation
~ explore what meditation is and why it is an essential practice
~ learn simple and potent practices that can be used daily to establish a foundation Even modern science says it’s true – Meditation is good for you! Nevertheless, for many modern yogis the idea of meditation and sanskrit words like “pranayama” and “mantra” conjure notions of ancient yogis in mountain caves or monks in robes, or may seem appealing but ultimately elusive and reserved for yoga teachers and the “super-spiritual”. This event will illuminate these concepts and offer powerful tools that any willing human can use to facilitate (and feel the benefits of!) a meditative mindset – whether in a cave or in a corner of the living room; in monk robes, yoga pants or pajamas.
