intro to mindfulness

a six-week course in meditation - June 26 - July 31, 8:45-9:45 am

Does it ever feel like you have one of those electric monkeys in your head, banging away at cymbols, filling your mind with incessant chatter and unuseful thoughts, distracting you all day long? Did you know that meditation can help you tame that monkey and live a more mindful life?

In this 6-week course, we will cultivate the formal practice of meditation and learn tools for leading a more mindful life by practicing and experimenting with various techniques. Each class will include instruction/teaching, group meditation and Q&A. The class is appropriate for complete beginners to experienced practitioners. You will leave with tools for incorporating a mindfulness practice into your daily life.

Tentative course schedule: (subject to modifications)

June 26th: Meditation overview: what is mindfulness? How to sit/finding your meditation seat

July 3rd: Body scan meditation

July 10th: Guided visualization

July 17th: Walking meditation

July 24th: Metta/loving kindness meditation

About the instructor: Cheri Fandozzi is a yoga and mindfulness instructor based in New York City and Avalon, NJ. Her formal practice of meditation evolved organically from years of yoga asana practice. She is a board member of The Community Meditation Center in Manhattan, where she studies and practices Vipassana meditation with guiding teacher Allan Lokos and guest teachers including Sharon Salzberg and Andrew Olendzki.

Master Class with Marissa Paino

Join Marissa Paino, ERYT-500, C-IAYT, for two Master Classes this summer to enhance your practice both physically, energetically and spiritually! Each class runs from 10:30am-Noon and will offer a balanced blend of all elements of the Yoga practice: pranayama, asana and meditation.

SUNDAY JULY 7th @ 10:30am-noon

Using the Wall as a Prop

Performing the asana practice on the wall offers new opportunities to fine-tune alignment, deepen your experience in a pose, and, empowers you to achieve postures that may have previously been elusive. This practice will be informative and strengthening and is appropriate for all levels as modifications will be offered to suit all levels of yoga experience.

SUNDAY AUGUST 4TH @ 10:30am-noon

Meditation in Motion

The physical benefits of the Yoga practice are much more visible to us than the subtle effects. Aside from asana, this class will explore the other two important tools of the practice, pranayama and meditation, to enhance our experience of calming the nervous system and tuning into our inner wisdom. This class will be slightly more slower-paced than traditional vinyasa with longer holds of postures and breathing techniques and intervals of quiet reflective pauses. Appropriate for any student curious about expanding beyond the physical practice.

$22 Early registration for either, $40 for both.

REST & THE CITY

August 14th 4-6pm

A restorative yoga gathering to release tension and stress

When you take care of yourself, you take care of the world. And nothing can make you feel more cared for than time communing with others and a nurturing, restorative yoga practice. REST & THE CITY combines both! Come alone or with a friend or group of friends. Spend time together, catching up over a snack and a beverage. Participate in a deeply relaxing restorative yoga class, feeling fully supported by the use of bolsters, blocks and blankets. You will leave class feeling rejuvenated in body, mind and soul. Having taken care of yourself and having filled your well with the love and support of your friends and fellow REST & THE CITY yogis.

Restorative yoga is a deeply relaxing style of yoga using bolsters, blankets and blocks to create a totally supported environment where you can focus on yourself and your breathing. Complete beginners are welcome...no yoga experience is necessary.

How this unique class works:
The class is 2 hours. The first 10-15 minutes are reserved for attendees to arrive, settle in and unwind from their day, to enjoy some quiet time, a beverage and a snack, to catch up with friends and make new ones. The RESTorative yoga practice is about an hour and 30 minutes. An additional 10-15 minutes is available after the practice for participants to linger and mingle.

coming home WEEKEND WELLNESS RETREAT - november 8-10

With Amy Sue Smith and Cheri Fandozzi

What does it mean to come home? To sincerely come home to ourselves, our bodies, the breath and the earth?

Join Amy Sue Smith and Cheri Fandozzi for an exploration of the transitional season of fall and the practice of coming home.

As we move through the fall season and its equinox, we are living in a transitional period between the moist heat of the summer and the dry cold of winter. The days shorten. The plants that just a couple of months prior were blossoming with life in the warm sunshine, start to shed their leaves and fruits as they prepare for winter. The wind picks up. And there is a slowing down, a turning inward as we ready ourselves for winter.

During the coming home retreat, we will celebrate this season of longer nights and cooler, quieter days with yoga practices and meditations to help you feel at home - in your body, heart and mind. We will offer a Saturday afternoon workshop and nourishing dinner to help us all connect more fully with the earth and what’s most important in our lives. Nourishing ourselves before the hustle and bustle of the holiday season begins, and preparing for the start of a new year, setting wholesome intentions and well-wishes for ourselves and the world around us.

Weekend inclusions:

Welcome mixer

Four slow flow & restorative yoga classes

Wellness workshop & meditation

Moring tea & light fare

Saturday evening dinner
