Yoga Workshop: Movement, Breathwork, Meditation

Downtown Boise YMCA
12/8/24 - 12/8/24
VIEW

Join Annie P. for a special workshop that celebrates gratitude while exploring a variety of yoga practices rooted in the ancient teachings of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali.

We’ll begin by gently moving the body through a series of postures (asanas) to help release tension and prepare for stillness. As we flow, we’ll cultivate a sense of thankfulness for our bodies and the present moment. Once the body is ready, we’ll dive into breathing exercises (pranayama) and conclude with a peaceful seated meditation, fostering a deeper connection to ourselves and our intentions of gratitude.

This workshop is open to all, regardless of experience level, and is designed to help quiet the mind, relax the body, and open the heart.

Sunday, November 10th, 1:00pm

Future Workshop:

Sunday, December 8th, 1:00pm
