Understanding
how to cultivate and sustain appropriate attention, both on and off the
meditation cushion, is essential in recognizing not only the origins of
stress in our busy and demanding lives, but also skillful ways to
reduce that stress. However, many of us here in the West come to the
cushion with great expectations and quickly discover that we first need
to remember how to relax.

 Scientists have proven that meditation not only reduces stress. It also helps you in these ways:

•        Strengthen the immune system.                     

•        Increase heart health.  

•        Reduce high blood pressure.                                             

•        Slow biological aging.                                           

•        Strengthen coping skills.                                       

•        Sleep better.
•        Better manage pain.

•        Heal more quickly.

•        Help you create positive behavior changes.

•        Achieve a greater sense of overall well-being.

This
workshop is open to all—from beginners to long-time meditators—and is
an opportunity for you to extend your practice over a few hours. The
theme will be “Connecting the Moments.” That is, intentionally
cultivating and sustaining a focused attention on sensations in the body
as we mindfully transition from one posture to another;
sitting/kneeling; standing; walking; reclining and gentle stretching.
This four-hour workshop is crafted to be deeply relaxing, not to push
our limits in one posture or another.

Please join us in this 
20th “Mini-Retreat” at Dream Yoga Studio. Come to share meditation
practice and get your questions answered. Explore new mindfulness
techniques that will help you experience greater calm and healing.

Wear
comfortable, loose-fitting clothing. Chairs, cushions, blankets,
kneeling benches and props are available, but feel free to bring your
personal sitting cushion.

Past participants are amazed at how peaceful they feel after this Retreat…and how fast the day flies.

Come share this special time together…

learning and practicing the many ways of mindfulness. 

See how it helps you reduce stress!
