It Will Be Lit a Gentle Yoga 6 Week Series: In Studio or Online with Dana Keegan
May 6 – 6:00 PM – 7:15 PM
Gentle Yoga & Meditations inspired with intentions from our favorite books. We will start each class with a short reading or excerpts from our book of the series, Zen Keys by Thich Nhat Hanh. Followed by a short guided meditation to form an intention for our Gentle Yoga practice.
“…Mindfulness helps us focus our attention on and know what we are doing. Usually we are a prisoner of society. Our energies are dispersed here and there. Our body and our mind are not in harmony. To begin to be aware of what we are doing, saying and thinking is to begin to resist the invasion by our surroundings and by all of our wrong perceptions. When the lamp of awareness is lit, our whole being lights up, and each passing thought and emotion is also lit up.” -Thich Nhat Hanh
This is a six-week series that is well-suited to those who are looking for a relaxed, gentle-paced workout. The class is not open to drop-ins. The poses are presented with many modifications, making the class appealing to anyone with moderate physical, medical, or age-related challenges. Emphasis will be on improving balance; developing conscious breathing; cultivating strength and flexibility; and calming the mind. Ideal for seniors, individuals with MS, Chronic Fatigue or Fibromyalgia, or those transitioning from illness/injury/surgery or a sedentary lifestyle.
