This free donation-based class is held Sunday mornings. We begin with a short inspirational reading that you can choose to reflect on during your meditation.

During this guided meditation, gentle bells may be rung to help you to return to the present moment. After the 20 minutes of meditation, we will have a mindful sharing of our experience.

Fee: Free, By Donation, or Monthly Membership

After the class ends, you will receive an email containing a link where you can pay what you would like.

Join us for our Sunday Meditation Circle, a unique experience where we begin with a guided meditation on mindfulness practices, followed by a moment of sharing. The session then progresses to an interactive exercise that involves meditation cards and singing bowls. Each person chooses a Tibetan singing bowl and directed to a specific area in the room to follow the instructions on the card. The instructions include the position (sitting with the bowl in lap or hand, lying down with the bowl at head or belly, etc.), a technique for playing the bowl, and a set of positive affirmations.

Experience your meditative mind in new and exciting ways! Sound and vibration from a bowl will teach the mind to focus and remind the body to relax so you can quickly and easily reap all the benefits of meditation time.

Restorative yoga has a great therapeutic impact during times of stress, illness, injury, pain and over-scheduled lives. Restorative yoga helps to cultivate a healing environment in the body by balancing the nervous system's optimal energy flow, restoring us at a physical, physiological, energetic and emotional level.

In restorative yoga, you are resting on a mat on the floor supported by a variety of props. It is a style of yoga accessible to anyone to create balance, quiet and restore our bodies and minds to a state of homeostasis.

Props used: bolsters, blankets, blocks, pillows, eye pillows, heated rice bags, and sand bags to support the practitioner. It promotes deeper relaxation and creating space for healing.

Additionally, sound healing will be used to help soothe your mind, body and spirit.

Bolsters, blankets and props are available but you can bring your own so you can be as comfortable as possible.
Note: This is not the Hot Stone Class.

FAQS
What should I wear to class?
You’ll want to wear warm, comfortable clothing that allows you to lay on the floor and does not constrict your movement. The room will not be heated. Think sweatshirts/hoodies, sweatpants, socks, long sleeved shirt.

Can I eat lunch before class?

Bring your yoga mat and your own eye pillow if you have one. If you prefer you can bring one or two blankets from home – one to cover your yoga mat with for warmth and softness under your body, and one to cover yourself with to keep in your body heat.
