Special Course: SUNRISE MEDITATION

Would you love to begin a morning meditation practice to benefit your body, breath and mind?

No doubt, it is a challenge to get any routine started (especially a healthy one!). The support of a teacher and community is invaluable, and that is what we offer here at the Gold Beach Wellness Center. This special course is designed to give you all the tools, knowledge and practical experience you need to begin your morning meditation, and stick with it!

Surya Namaskar is a yogic practice honoring the Sun that combines movement, breath and mantra to brighten your whole Being. In this 8-week course we will study the breath led asana sequence and discover any individual modifications your body needs to make this practice safe and sustainable for years to come. We will also learn grounding poses to follow the energizing sun salutation.  Once we are established in the flow of movements, we will add recitation of mantras - body, breath and mind find union = Yoga! 

Within the course, we will also learn to examine and enhance the energy of our own breath (pranayam) for deeper sensitivity and physical vitality. Surya namaskar strengthens the entire physiology, most importantly the spinal column. Over time we will find sitting upright easier so we can comfortably approach seated pranayam and mantra meditation.

The timing of this course leads up to the Summer Solstice* (June 20th) - traditionally a day to give extra honor and gratitude to the nourishing light of the sun, and what better way than with your entire being - body, breath and mind!

My hope is that by the end of the 8-week course, you are confidently established in a sunrise meditation practice to begin your day centered, focused and energized. SIGN-UP HERE! 

*We will be hosting a special gathering on the evening of Friday, June 20th, to enjoy tea, light snacks and community time before sitting together for 108 repetitions of the Gayetri Mantra - which you will learn as part of this course.
