Is this Tapas? (1/22/26)

Allison Miller

January 22 2026 • Duration: 46 Minutes

This class is the final one for January's theme of Tapas! It is meant to be a relaxing integration of our theme. We practice a few gentle movements for the shoulders, and end with a metta (loving kindness) meditation.

John shares a beautiful poem titled: "Is this Tapas?" at the start.

We talk about the Theravada Buddhist monks walk for peace that is happening now as well. The walk for peace reminds us that: "We don’t transform our lives in one big moment. We show up again and again, step after step, choosing awareness over reactivity and kindness over hatred."
This feels like tapas to me!!

Practice starts at about 12 minutes in.
