Kundalini Yoga and Meditation

 
with Noer Wuisman

Sunday, May 30
10:00 am - 12:00 pm

Fee: $45

This workshop will explore a variety of meditations derived from the Kundalini Yoga tradition of Yogi Bhajan. He states "meditation is the process of controlling and transcending the waves of the mind, allowing the flow of radiance from the soul."




The benefits of meditation are numerous and include:

• Promoting a sense of well- being, inner peace, stability and calm.
• Develop intuition and awareness
• Resolve stress-producing patterns
• Promote clarity of mind, mental awareness and the ability to stay present.

In order to prepare the body for deep meditation a short set of asanas (postures) will be taught at the start of the workshop, followed by a set of meditations that incorporate breath work, mundras (hand gestures), and mantra (sound currents). The different elements of meditation will be explained, and a safe environment will be established for you to feel comfortable to deeply focus inward and connect with your own inner stillness.
