Retreat Dharma Talks

Meditation And Yoga

This silent retreat blends the traditions of insight meditation and hatha yoga to support our awakening. Through practices that emphasize mindfulness of the body and opening of the heart, we’ll cultivate our ability to embody compassionate presence in every moment of our lives. Two daily periods of yoga—appropriate for all levels—will open, relax and energize our bodies, creating greater freedom and ease to support a full schedule of sitting and walking meditation. The yoga will also be a meditation in itself, grounding our awareness in a joyful appreciation of the moment-to-moment unfolding of our embodied experience.
