Dharma Talks & Community Meditation

Dharma Talks & Community Meditation with Pattie McCann ERYT
Sunday Evenings in August / 6pm to 6:45 - 7pm / August 4 (in person & virtual), 11, 18, 25 (virtual only)
FREE

Yoga is as much about sparking our deeper insight, imagination, and inspiration for life as it is about moving our bodies into any shape. With yoga philosophy and wisdom as a guide, Pattie will begin a discussion about how it applies to the lives we’re living and experiencing now.

From a brief description of a little yogic knowledge (20 minutes or less), everyone will be encouraged to share their own insights on the chosen topic. From there we’ll move into a meditation together.

We’ll encourage everyone to share their thoughts and experiences, so our time may vary slightly. We’ll allow 15 minutes to settle into stillness and meditation and finish the evening by 7pm at the latest.

Our first Dharma Talk on August 4th will be hybrid, so anyone can join us in the studio or from the comfort of home. Our topic for August 4th will be: Yoga & Our Difficult Emotions.

The following weeks will be Livestream virtual meetings.

Everyone is welcome to join these free community discussions. Every voice is valuable!

Restorative Yoga / Part of the Restful Sundays Series of the Summer of '23

Restorative Yoga / Part of the Restful Sundays Series of the Summer of '23

Give yourself a gift- Permission to relax.

 This is the 3rd installment of Dawn’s Restful Sundays Summer Series. Invest in yourself during these special monthly offerings at Strongheart Yoga! Only $23 per person per session.

Many of us are in a state of over-activity and over-doing, even in Summer. A week or weekend away may still involve a lot of “doing”. We may not be aware of how constant busyness impacts us emotionally and physically and we may wind up feeling over- stimulated, stressed out, stiff, tired, cranky and a little resentful of how much is on our list. Our health, sleep patterns, energy levels, and even our relationships can all be affected by doing too much and not slowing down.

The long days of summer, while wonderful, can encourage us to pack more in. And the addition of heat can take a toll on our nervous system. Taking an opportunity to cool down the body and mind can get us back to our healing para-sympathetic state.

Restorative yoga uses props to support the body in long-held poses. It’s a practice of conscious, healing rest. The comfort and ease of these gentle, supported positions facilitates health and relaxation and allows you to discover and experience the benefits of a nurturing relaxation practice. This practice is good for everyone and accessible for everyone.

Class will be led by Dawn Young, ERYT and C-IAYT.   Each session will begin with a brief all levels yoga breath and movement practice, to help facilitate a deeper rest.
