Experience the deeply calming effects of Yoga Meditation. No need to bring anything. Dress comfortably. Seating is provided (floor chairs and sofas). The class is 7:00-8:15pm. We are happy to stay afterwards if people have questions. Yoga Meditation is simple, effective, and enjoyable. It helps to calm the mind, relax the body, and allow us to be more steady no matter what is happening in our lives. There will an opportunity after the class for questions about anything related to meditation, managing stress, dealing with anxiety, and so on. There is never a charge for any of our meditation classes. [Donations](http://yogameditationgroup.org/donations/) are gratefully accepted to help us cover our costs. RSVP is required - through Meetup or by email, phone, or text. Our contact information is below. NOTE: We do not require masks. We believe it is important to be able to breathe freely while practicing meditation. If you are not comfortable with this, we have audio classes you can practice with (just ask). Namaste.

Life builds up in the body. Stress. Noise. Pressure. Emotion. Constant movement. This is your invitation to sweat some of it out. Join us for a guided meditation experience inside the infrared sauna at HOTWORX Brushy Creek — a space to soften, breathe, release, and reconnect through the combination of heat, stillness, and presence. The infrared heat helps the body open and let go. The meditation helps the mind settle. Together, they create a deeply grounding experience that many people describe as calming, cleansing, and unexpectedly emotional. **The experience includes:** * 30 minutes of guided meditation inside the infrared sauna * Breath awareness and guided presence * Space to sweat, soften, and reset * A few quiet moments to integrate afterward No meditation experience needed. Just come as you are. If you’ve never been to HOTWORX before, this is a simple and welcoming way to experience the studio—no workout required. * To keep the space intentional and comfortable, this session is limited to 5 participants. If it fills, you’re welcome to join the waitlist * Please arrive a few minutes early to complete the facility waiver **—** Guided by Sam Neseim — meditation teacher, coach, and owner of HOTWORX Brushy Creek. Sameh creates spaces where people can slow down enough to hear themselves again — integrating presence, nervous system regulation, inner awareness, and real-life leadership. Come as you are. Let the heat hold you. Let the sweat release heaviness. Return home to lightness.
