Breath by Breath: Meditation Series. Hosted by Common Ground Yoga, Framingham, MA. Dates TBA soon.
Using the 2,600 year old Mindfulness of Breathing Sutra (Anapana Sati Sutra) as our guide, this course is an experiential journey through the timeless teachings of the 4 Foundations of Mindfulness. Over the course of 4 weeks, each class will include a Dharma talk to illuminate the teachings and techniques, Q&A to explore how the challenges in practice can become opportunities, guided meditations and a virtual classroom to offer support and inspiration between sessions.
Recordings will be made available to those unable to attend live.
DECONSTRUCTING ASANA SERIES: Hosted by Shanti Yoga and Common Ground Yoga. Dates TBA soon.
Within any Yoga Posture (Asana), there are many variables that all come together to bring the practitioner into the fruition of the posture. In this workshop we will isolate a single Yoga posture and take a deep dive into all the parts and actions that come together to give full expression to that posture and therefore receive all of its benefits. We will learn how many of the actions in one asana can be found in other asanas. Although we will do a deep dive into 1 posture, the workshops will be structured in such a way that you will receive a well-rounded and balanced practice. These workshops are designed to give students a deeper and more complete understanding of what they are doing on the mat and how they can adjust themselves so the posture works for them. By studying one pose deeply, you can come to know them all.
