Mindfulness and Meditation: Progressing Towards Self-Awareness and Positive Habit Change 9:30 am - 12:30 pm with Sarah Guglielmi
Mindfulness is the ability to remain aware as you move through your day. Meditation combines this state of awareness with mental concentration. Together, they gradually quiet internal noise, leading to a clear connection with our wise intuitive self. The yogis remind us that this is life’s greatest gift. It is the key to overcoming self-limiting habits, and connecting to genuine self love and joy within. Meditation promises so much, yet the obstacles derail us; a racing mind, an aching body, not enough time, challenging emotions. Understanding the habit formation process (vritti samskara chakra), and specific refinements to breath awareness and meditation technique will inform you and your students on how to actively overcome the obstacles. This will be the focus of our discussion and practice.
Neurology of Awareness 1:30 - 4:30 pm with Julia Kress
Mindfulness is awareness. The more we practice Yoga and Meditation, the more aware we become of our physical bodies, thought patterns, and our energy levels. But, how? What’s the science behind it? Our afternoon session will explore the world of neuro-physiology through modern science and ancient wisdom to help understand how we experience feelings and awareness. Personal history can interrupt our natural balance and lead to a lack of internal connection physically, mentally and energetically. We will compare yoga’s model of the mind with what science now knows about neuro-anatomy leading to a deeper and more profound experience of wholeness and equanimity. Our afternoon will conclude with guided relaxation and meditation.
