SPECIAL MORNING CLASSES

Teacher - Mary
Regular drop-in class fee

BUSTING THE WINTER BLUES
On Tuesday mornings we will practice postures and meditations that are designed to be physically challenging and known to effectively reduce mild depression. Also included - yogic nutritional and lifestyle tips to heal depression

BURNING KARMA
On Thursday mornings we will continue to practice active yoga sets. Through mindfulness meditations, we will reflect on our daily habits and actions in order to 'burn karma' and create more flow in our lives. Also included - yogic tips for refining your mind

DID YOU KNOW THAT
Depression can become a habit? Habits start as a repetitive thought in the mind that then generates a feeling which then creates a desire and which then compels you to do some specific action. Active yoga practices get you out of your head and into your body. The habit pattern initially formed in your mind then gradually erodes. With the application of meditation techniques - destructive habits weaken and new, healthy habits form.

All of your thoughts, speech and actions cause some unknowable effect in your life and in the world - it is a mistake to think that no effect will occur. So - how do you live? What kind of thoughts do you mostly have? What are your true intentions? Are your actions kind? Do you truly wish others happiness?
The only path to happiness is to truly wish others well
