Location: Yoga Meditation Group, 13740 Research Blvd., Bldg T, Unit 3, Austin, 78750 Yoga Asana is the physical practice of yoga that includes exercises, breathing, and relaxation. The purpose of Yoga Asana isn't fitness. It is, in part, to take care of the body as our vehicle; and although this may include fitness, it should never be defined by it. Yoga Asana practice gives us the opportunity to become aware of the body and the life force within the body, helping us to experience that we are not the body but rather the eternal being within the body who needs fulfillment on a level that the body cannot satisfy. This experience can then lead us to the deeper yoga practices, which are centered around meditation (the heart of yoga) and spiritual inquiry about our eternal identity and purpose. All of our meditation classes are free and are listed here on Meetup. Let us know if you have any questions. Namaste. NOTE: We do not require masks. We believe it is important to be able to breathe freely while practicing yoga asana and meditation. If you are not comfortable with this, we have links we can send you that may be helpful in practicing at home. YogaMeditationGroup.org info@YogaMeditationGroup.org (512) 774-4964

With tensions between rival houses already high, one more spark could ignite a civil war. -And when Drusa is found murdered just before the engagement is made official, the pivotal occasion immediately devolves into chaos! -Was Drusa’s death a personal vendetta, a political move, or something far darker? The suspects include senators, soldiers, gladiators, servants, and nobles alike—and all are maneuvering to protect their place in history. -It’s up to everyone to find the killer – to get justice for the victim and to prevent a war that might bring down the Roman Empire!
