JUST SHOW UP: YOGA, MEDITATION, AND MINDFULNESS

Have you ever said, "I'll start yoga when I'm in better shape, more flexible... I'll start meditation when my schedule is less crowded?" How long are you going to wait for life's circumstances to open up? Just show up! See what happens.
Mindfulness training teaches us to be present—to show up in every moment of our lives, whether those moments are filled with difficulty or with joy. As we practice mindfulness, we develop the ability to stay present, open-hearted, and compassionate with ourselves, others, and the moment—even those we consider "difficult." Through mindfulness we learn to drop old habits and conditioned behaviors, to accept every moment regardless of content and without the overlay of "like" or "dislike."
During this retreat, we will use yoga practice to bring mindfulness practice into everyday life and activity. We will experience first-hand the truism that how we are on the mat is how we are off the mat.
Cindy and Susan bring a practical, accessible, and light-hearted approach to the teachings. Each day includes periods of silent and guided meditation, yoga, breath awareness, and structured mindfulness exercises to bring the body and mind to stillness. Evening group sessions will include time to share and integrate insights. Retreatants are asked to maintain silence during all non-class time.
