MEDITATION with Danielle Fogarty
 One SATURDAY a month:   Nov 24,  Dec 8
10:00 - 11:15 AM
FREE (donation to support studio gratefully accepted but not required)

Danielle says, "Since loving nap-time in pre-K, I've longed for stillness, for quiet, for calm, for peace.  When I read that 'I am not my thoughts'--noticeable relief settled in.  Practicing slowing down thought and expanding space between and around thought is a return to stillness, quiet, calm, peace.  Using Eckhart Tolle as a guide is a gentle path toward stillness."

This will be an opportunity to explore sitting quietly and perhaps finding the clear space inside.
Meditation is not random, it will not suddenly descend upon you.......it takes a little introduction and then some practice

A THANKFUL FLOW: CULTIVATING GRATITUDE AND ABUNDANCE (on and off the mat) with Kat Daley
SATURDAY  Nov 24

"Thou has given so much to me,
Give one thing more, a grateful heart,
Not thankful when it pleaseth me,
As if thy blessings had spare das;
But such a heart, whose pulse may be thy praise."

"Take an intentional pause at the beginning of the holiday season to reflect and remember what it is that is truly important to you."

Join Kat for a themed asana series with select gratitude practices to acknowledge and appreciate the richness of life exactly as it is while generating the powerful, creative energy of gratitude and abundance.  This hatha yoga class is appropriate for all levels of yoga; beginners welcome.
