Fall Equinox Meditation
Sep

Fall Equinox Meditation

  • The Long Beach Island Foundation of the Arts + Sciences (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

As we shift into a new season, it is important to honor one of the four corners of the year. As the seasons change, so should your lifestyle and movement practices. You will learn specific ways to balance the internal organs to boost immunity, health and healing. The 1st hour will be the active or Yang part of class consisting of various meditative techniques such as Medical QiGong, Dao Yin, Yin Yoga, deep breathing, acupressure, self-massage, chanting/toning and visualization. This is done to link and sync us together for the 2nd hour of class so we can receive (Yin) the deep healing vibrations from the Crystal singing bowls. The bowls will harmonize and tune your cells and brighten and expand your auric field.

Modernists + Movement: Poetry + Yoga

  • The Long Beach Island Foundation of the Arts + Sciences (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Modernist poetry and yoga may seem at first glance like very different disciplines; look closer and you’ll see they have much in common. Both are most productive when approached by warming up—be it physically, mentally, emotionally, or spiritually—and finding flow and rhythm is key to each experience. Come explore this intersection of body, mind and spirit as we  practice gentle yoga illuminated through the poetry of Marianne Moore, T.S. Eliot, E.E. Cummings and Langston Hughes. The exploration and experimentation of a modernist poem or yoga practice helps guide you to a deeper understanding of the self and the world, and how each are intimately intertwined. To get there, poetry and yoga both require mindful reflection and attention to the precise alignment of words/bodies. Each 90-minute session is suitable for all levels--no prior yoga or poetry experience is required!
