Yoga Off the Mat: The Practice of Daily Life
Yoga is more than the physical postures we experience in a class or through our practice on the mat. It is also an awareness of our body, mind, and spirit in the movements and moments of daily living. This includes our breath, energy flow, balance, alignment, and personal and spiritual presence as we go through our day.
Whether you are engaged in yoga classes and want to carry your practice with you more fully through the day, or you do not have the time or capacity to take part in a regular class on the mat—join us as we explore the ancient meaning and practice of yoga “off the mat.” Together we will learn and share short simple practices to settle, center, and strengthen ourselves in coping with the stresses of these times.
Each session will include meditation; reflections on the teachings and philosophy of yoga; breathing; brief standing, sitting, and walking practices; and time and space for silence and sharing.
