Moving Meditation

Open to any age, fitness level and mobility.
Guided meditation and movement exploration with closed eyes. Learn to listen to and trust your body.
Release stress and welcome ease and pleasure.
We will be meditating and exploring the Non-Linear Movement Method. With this gentle, non-forcing method, stored tension and emotion as well as programmed coping patterns can be loosened; and as the body moves it can facilitate its own release and restoration. In the Intro Level, we explore “Moving What You’re Feeling,” where we allow our bodies to move through everything we are feeling, thinking and sensing. This is a gentle class that goes at whatever speed your body desires that day. Click here for more info
Note: This is an inner journey and eyes are closed for most of the class.
Cost: $10 suggested donation. Advance Registration Recommended.
