With Kundalini Yoga and Meditation, we will learn, practice and share techniques to create an inward change while supporting an outward change, a life of inner-strength, outward compassion, positive change.
A series of courses that include a 40-day home-based yoga and meditation practice with guided journaling and weekly teleconference calls. We will learn and discuss the unique design of a woman and how to apply our gifts for support, healing, courage, and change.
Each participant will choose one meeting time for the weekly call for the 40-days.
Teleconference Dates and Times:
• Mon Evening: Jan 17- Feb 28, 7-8:30pm EST
• Tues Morn/Noon: Jan 18- Mar 1, 12-1:30pm EST
How to do the 40-Day Practice:
• Ideal Situation
Each woman will create a quiet, private place in the house with candles and soft lighting for daily yoga, meditation, and journaling practice. She will meet in the same place for a weekly, uninterrupted conference call.
• Real Situation
The efficient and productive woman leading a full life will do her yoga wherever she can; the lunchroom at work, in her mini-van, or on the kitchen floor while cooking dinner. She will listen in on the weekly conference call and press the “mute” option while serving dinner, helping with homework or driving to soccer practice.
Details: A 90-minute teleconference call once a week, 15-30 minutes of daily yoga, meditation and journaling. A video clip and detailed instructions for yoga, journaling and conference calls will be emailed when you enroll. You will need a folder for materials, a journal, a timer, an email address and the ability to print documents.
