WORKSHOPS AND EVENTS

Nokomis Yoga Meditation Group
Leader: Stephanie Wagner

Every Sunday
9:15-10:15am
Cost: Donation

Join us as we begin weekly meditation at Nokomis Yoga! This weekly meditation group meets to practice mindfulness through sitting and walking meditation.

Many people find the practice of meditation helps them reduce stress and experience life more fully by paying attention to the present moment. Meditation helps to rest the body and calm the mind. Being in touch with the present moment allows us to end harmful habits of thinking and behavior and begin to change.

Each meditation session will begin with a brief guided meditation followed by sitting and walking meditation practice. There will be a short time in each session to ask questions and discuss your meditation experience. Meditators of any level are welcome.

"If we want to undo our own bewilderment and suffering and be of benefit to others and the planet, we're going to have to be responsible for learning what our mind is and how it works... Once we see how our mind works, we see how our life works, too. That changes us." Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche
