Meditation in Motion - Summer

Meditation  in Motion (MIM) is a 3 hour introductory moving experience from  stillness into exquisite motion. This is a gentle yet invigorating,  immersive, mindful-movement workshop to give you plenty of time to relax  and de-stress from any challenges you may have been facing. MIM -  Summer is a mini-retreat focused on the SUMMER season and the elements  of fire and water according to Ayurveda, a natural system of medicine,  originated in India more than 3,000 years ago.

The  focus during Summer is in letting go and cooling down to bring our life  back to balance. It is open to individuals with or without movement  experience who miss moving and being active because of their busy lives,  and also for those who love to move, dance and discover new things  about themselves. Healthy and tasty lunch will be provided as mindful  eating is also part of the experience.

The  general structure of this MIM immersive workshop starts with basic  meditation and breathing techniques to relax, followed by gentle yoga  asana practice to warm up, which leads into easy to follow self and  group movement explorations to reconnect with yourself and with others. $108 per person.
