SPIRITUAL HARVEST
Nurturing the Body with Christian Yoga

 

Six Tuesdays
6:00 pm – 7:15 pm
Sept 27 – Nov 1, 2011

CANCELED

As we return to our busy fall schedule, let us schedule time for nurturing ourselves. As we enjoy the bounty of the autumn’s harvest and the bright colors of the season, let us reap our spiritual harvest by focusing our attention on the body and breath to prepare the mind and heart for quiet reflection, prayer and contemplation. Our contemplative practices are deepened when the body soothed, strengthened and relaxed.

In this six-week series, we will undertake the physical and energetic discipline of a body-and-breath practice through a style of yoga that is safe and accessible for everybody. We will begin the class with a passage from scripture setting our intention for each session and as a basis for reflective chanting (in English) to draw our minds inward.

The classes will include:

  • Deep relaxation
  • Breathing practices
  • Chanting scripture
  • Concluding with a short silence
