Mindful Inclusive Morning Yoga

The ancient practice of mindfulness, or present moment awareness, has been shown to increase health and wellness - and it can also be used to lower our biases and build conscious relationships across social differences. Continuing in April, this session will combine mindfulness, pranayama (breath work) and embodied engagement with slow-flow vinyasa to gently energize and then calm the body. Our focus will be on observing shifting inner awareness as we engage in practice together. Led by Dena Samuels, PhD, Educator specializing in Mindfulness-Based Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging.

Be Like a Tree

in a Storm

“A strong emotion is like a storm. If you look at a tree in a storm, the top of the tree seems fragile, like it might break at any moment. You are afraid the storm might uproot the tree. But if you turn your attention to the trunk of the tree, you realize that its roots are deeply anchored in the ground, and you see that the tree will be able to hold.” - Thich Nhat Hanh
