Community Yoga Class
Sunday mornings at 9:30 (on-going)

Racheal Truesdell, certified Kripalu Yoga teacher.

This donation-based community yoga class is open to everyone - all ages and all experience levels. This class ismeant to provide a fun, affordable opportunity for all to dedicate one hour a week to truly inhabiting your body and mind, to stretch, breathe, strengthen, and clear your mind. The class will be moderately challenging with modifications offered for each pose to suit your body. I will be your guide through this practice but I encourage you to make it your own - get to know your body, your physical limitations and strengths, and how when to take it deeper and when to back off. We are all blessed with different body types - embrace what you've got and learn how to work with it.

Suggested donation: $10

Sunday Sitting @ Spontaneous
Sunday mornings at 9:30 (on-going)

What to bring: Pillow to sit on, good blanket and something to write with/on are also good options. An open heart.

Cost: Donations, pay what you can.

What to expect: Overall, the idea is to hold the spacer for an experiential discussion group designed to introduce or reinforce meditation techniques and concepts of mindfulness. Generally, discussions will be geared to beginners, although those with experience are encouraged to join in cultivating beginner's mind. Each week will provide the opportunity to practice meditation together. In addition, topics will be presented for discussion as an opportunity to learn from one another.

Throughout the ages, followers of many spiritual traditions have used prayer, the singing of holy words, and meditation to bring themselves closer to God. In the same way, those who have discovered HU, an ancient name for God, sing it for their upliftment. Regardless of your beliefs or your religion, you can sing HU to be happier and more secure in God's love.
