Camarillo Buddhist Center

Join us for a Friday morning dedicated to rejuvenation and inner balance. Our Community Yoga session is designed for all levels, focusing on gentle movement and breath to start your day with clarity and physical well-being. Whether you are new to yoga or a long-time practitioner, this moderate and customized asana practice provides a welcoming space to strengthen your body and quiet your mind.

The suggested donation for this event is $15 with 50% benefitting the Camarillo Buddhist Center.

Facilitated by Pat Tallman is a lay practitioner of the Noble 8 Fold Path taught by the Buddha. He has many years of experience practicing mostly in the traditions of Vipassana as taught by S. N. Goenka and Tranquil Wisdom Insight Meditation (TWIM) as taught by Bhante Vimalaramsi.

We will practice meditation with the understanding of Right Effort (can also be thought of as Harmonious Practice).

The four Right Efforts (SN 49.1-12) are fundamental to your practice to eliminate unwholesome reactions due to concepts and conditions of the mind, and to transform them into wholesome responses to whatever arises. This is the retraining of the reactive mind into a mind that is calm at all times. Pat will share a tool taught to him by Bhante Vimalaramsi to help you remember HOW to practice regardless of the object you use for meditation.
