mindfulness meditation: A 4-week Exploration
Explore mindfulness and invite it into your daily life
Over the course of 4 weeks, we will meet weekly as a group to practice various formal mindfulness meditations, learn about research at the vanguard of contemplative neuroscience, build our capacity to pay attention AND take what we learn into our daily lives.
We will be building the muscle of mindfulness, so in between classes you'll be invited to practice formal meditation a minimum of 5 days a week for just 12 minutes a day. If you are new to meditation, your goal will be to start with a 3 minute daily practice and build from there. There will also be instruction and invitations to explore mindfulness informally in your daily life.
You'll receive guided meditation recordings, tools and inspiration to support you along the way, information about cutting-edge mindfulness research, and have an opportunity to build community and learnings within the group.
Mindfulness meditation is like exercise for our brains, and just like any other type of exercise, in order to reap the benefits, you have to engage and do it with some regularity. You wouldn't expect to get in shape by doing one workout a week, would you? Mindfulness is the same so you will have to engage in this exploration and practice in between classes in order to discover the benefits of mindfulness for yourself.
Class schedule
From June 22nd - July 20th, we will meet on Wednesday mornings from 11 am - 12:30 pm ET live at the studio or over Zoom. Class participation will be an important part of the program so if you will need to miss more than 1 live class, I'd recommend taking the class the next time it's offered. An audio recording can be provided if you miss a class.
Who is this class for?
This class is perfect for you if you:
* Are brand new to meditation or have dabbled in apps but would like to learn more
* Are curious about how you'd benefit from a true commitment to meditation practice. What can be discovered? What might I learn?
* Have been practicing for a while but would like to deepen your practice or recommit to your daily practice
* Enjoy a group learning experience and the potential for gathering together with the Sol Luna Yoga community
