Developing Awareness

Meditation, Mindfulness and Self-Discovery.

​

During meditation classes we explore the purpose of meditation and the value of a stable mind.

​

Directing attention enables conscious choice.

​

The most important purpose of awareness practice is to facilitate self-transformation.

​

The objective of yoga is to change the habits in the mind to develop a spontaneous or natural underlying calmness in the mind.  Directing attention towards a focus that will lead to this calmness over time is the central practice of yoga.

​

During the meditation classes I will take you through various methods, including absorptive, contemplative, and mindful practices to build skills to develop a stable mind.

Yoga Nidra

​

Profound awareness can be attained and explored during the practice of Yoga Nidra which includes deep relaxation and meditation, and can incorporate deliberate directed intention of life goals / change.  I have used this practice as a way of working on habit and change with myself and students and have found it to be highly effective.

​

I have level 3 Yoga Nidra certification which includes the therapeutic application of Yoga Nidra.
