Meditation in Movement & Stillness (All levels)

Vipassana and yoga meditation with Brenda Andujo Mah. Let still meditation be touched by the flowing wisdom of simple movements. When we sit in relative stillness and silence, we find the sounds and the movement inside. In this class, we focus on ground and breath in order to anchor ourselves, release stress, lessen anxiety and settle our fast paced minds so we can relax and see ourselves with more clarity.  With a clearer mind we make choices that cause us less suffering and that bring us more Joy and, ultimately, bring us closer to what we want.  With practice and discipline, slowly learn to become the master of your mind.  Come and join us on this journey to Joy, fulfillment and self awareness.
