Weekend Structure
Friday evening: Reduce Stress and Anxiety
You will learn to become more aware of the root causes of stress or anxiety, and how to find new neural pathways to express more life-enhancing responses. You could call this, “new responses to old patterns.”
Participants will be guided into a supported Savasana and enjoy what we call Superconscious Relaxation with AUM.
Saturday morning: Calm the Mind with Body Movement and Breath
This morning will include:
- Yoga postures to relieve trapped spinal energies
- Two classic and powerful breathing exercises (pranayama) for reducing stress and anxiety
- Learning the power of mindful breath meditation, which you will experience in the extremely effective Hong-Sau meditation.
Saturday Afternoon: Restorative Yoga to Relax the Mind
Restorative yoga postures are known for their unique power to bring calmness. No effort is needed, only deeper and deeper relaxation. When you decide which one or two postures you especially enjoyed, you’ll receive a custom-made handout of instructions you can use at home.
Saturday evening: Putting It Together
This evening you’ll bring all the pieces together, beginning with some journaling to clarify your positive responses on the mental plane. You’ll re-experience the Hong-Sau meditation to calm the mind, followed by one or two of your favorite restorative poses, so you are reminded how to get into them again. We will close with Superconscious Relaxation with AUM.
Sunday Morning: Releasing
Time for Q and A and a closing exercise to help you more deeply release your stress and step into new habits of awareness and calmness. We’ll ask you to commit yourself to the healing benefits of 5 to 15 minutes of mindful practice each day. Your personal transformation will astonish you.
