NEW! Online Asana & Meditation Intro (Part 1 & 2) by Mahayogi Yoga Mission

For anyone who is new to the practice of Yoga or simply new to MYM’s class, this set of two classes is designed to carefully introduce participants to the foundations of the practice of asana (physical postures of Yoga) and to meditation.

This introductory program will take place in 2 parts:
• Saturday Aug. 7th @3pm -> Part 1
• Saturday Aug. 14th @3pm -> Part 2
http://mahayogiyogamission.org/class/onlineclass.html

Please note that when you sign-up, BOTH Part 1 & Part 2 are included in the class fee.

What to Expect:

INTRO PART 1
ASANA
We will focus on several asana from the basic asana that are practiced in our regular classes, including an introduction to:
• the way of breathing in asana and what is to be focused on while in the pose itself
• the way of entering and exiting each pose

MEDITATION
We will learn the basics of meditation, including an introduction to:
• the various sitting positions for meditation
• the purpose of meditation
• the objects of meditation

HOMEWORK:
We ask that in the time between attending Intro Part 1 and Intro Part 2, participants practice the asana learned during Intro Part 1 so that they can become more familiarized with the experience of trying them out and will be prepared to learn new asana in Intro Part 2.

INTRO PART 2
ASANA
We will focus on additional asana from the basic asana that are practiced in our regular classes, including:
• the way of entering and exiting each pose
• a review of any questions coming from practice of the asana learned in Part 1.

MEDITATION
We will learn further about meditation, including an introduction to:
• more details on the practice of meditation
• ways to prepare the mind for meditation

After participating in the experience of Intro Part 1 & Intro Part 2, we look forward to you attending any of our other regular classes on the online schedule! (http://mahayogiyogamission.org/class/onlineclass.html)
