Gentle Hatha & Pranayama to Begin Meditating

I’ve talked to many people over the years who want to meditate, or maybe tried it once but didn’t find it effective. One of the biggest misunderstandings about yoga practice is that it’s something other than meditation. The whole intention of yoga postures, according to the old texts, is to prepare for meditation, and for each pose itself to be a meditation. This, to me, takes a lot of the stress out of meditating. I can stay focused just fine in chair pose, maybe not for long, but it seems more tangible than just sitting and breathing. In this class, we’ll prepare the body to meditate with postures, breathing and then stillness.
