Upcoming meditation workshop with Jonathan Bowra at Spira Power Yoga, February 23, 12:30-3:30pm. We’ll chant, drum and do sitting meditation, there will be time for Q&A and for discussion. For those of you who weren’t able to attend the last meditation workshop and for those who did, here is another opportunity to learn and practice the life maturing practice of meditation. In the last meditation workshop at Spira Yoga 25 Yogis and Yoginis from the Spira community and from outside the community came together to explore through chanting meditation, sitting meditation and drumming meditation how to be present in our life moment to moment. Meditation is waking up to the present moment, surrendering to the present moment, so that we can connect more deeply to ourselves and to those around us. Come to this meditation workshop; begin your journey to deeper connection.
