Cultivating a meditation practice is, more often than not, easier said than done. Did you make an attempt only to become frustrated and wonder whether or not you were even "doing it right"? Convinced that you just can't learn to meditate? Think again!
Join us Sunday, September 15th, from 3pm-5pm at Painted Lotus Yoga & Wellness in Tuscaloosa for Intro to Meditation & Mindfulness. Allow us to debunk myths and demystify this powerful and impactful practice for you. Our workshop will explore both the differences between, and intersections of, mindfulness & meditation as well as numerous ways to experience them, including yoga nidra, mantra, moving meditation, using a focal point and more! Learn what happens in the brain and body when you engage in these practices regularly. Alongside the evidence-based research into the efficacy of theses practices we will discuss the roots of the practice from a yogic perspective. We’ll journey beyond the postural and breathing practices presented in most mainstream yoga classes and into the territory of deep relaxation and spiritual sustenance. No previous experience required! Expect to be seated and/or lying down for most of this workshop. Folding chairs are available as well as bolsters, blankets, eye pillows and yoga mats. Feel free to bring additional pillows, mediation cushions, or anything that will allow you to be more comfortable during our time together. Dress comfortably as there will be some brief, gentle movement practices offered. Please email or call us with questions or concerns. Workshop facilitated by Clarissa Boggess, owner/instructor at Painted Lotus Yoga & Wellness. Fee to attend: $35 Ticket link available at registration |

Evening facilitated by Clarissa Boggess (she/her), owner/instructor
Cost to attend: $10. Pre-register or Drop In. Join us the third Friday of every month for an immersive experience where you will be guided to a state of relaxation through mindfulness, slow, rhythmic breathing and the sounds of over-tone-rich instruments. The gongs, singing bowls, and other sound/vibrational instruments your nervous system, leaving you with a sense of bliss. Some of the measurable health benefits of sound bath & mediation may be: reduction in symptoms of anxiety and stress, promoting more restful sleep, offering support in lowering blood pressure, and pain relief. Expect to sit or lie in relaxation while the deep, earthy tones of the Chau gongs and bright, soothing tones of singing bowls and bells wash over you. For stressed and overly-active minds, the tones from the gong give the mind something to anchor to as you learn to release into deeper states of relaxation. You are welcome to bring your own yoga mat, pillows, blankets, and bolsters or borrow some of ours. The studio has all that you will need to pad your nest and support your comfort. |
