We will not be gathering for integrated Yoga meditation on Sunday, March 3. Take the time to find quiet and stillness in your heart; we’ll practice again together on March 10.

Version 2I am so happy to announce that our Sunday morning integrated Yoga meditation class (9:00 to 10:15 am) has a new home. We will meet for our ongoing class in space that is part of the Faith, Health, & Wellness Center @ Solomon’s Porch, 100 West 46th Street, in south Minneapolis (55419), one block or so west of Nicollet Avenue, on the northwest corner of Blaisdell Avenue and 46th Street. Many thanks to Katherine Kleingartner and the beautiful people of the Faith, Health, & Wellness Center for sharing their space.

The entrance is on 46th Street, under the awning and next to the Faith, Health, & Wellness Center sign. The space for Yoga Sanctuary is on the ground floor, but we will meet on the top floor. Once at the top of the stairs, go forward and our room is halfway down the hallway on the left.

As we settle into our new space, we’ll have more props, but for now, please bring a mat if you have one and your favorite meditation cushion. We will have chairs on hand for those who do not have meditation cushions.

 

Be Wellness Door

I’m super excited to announce that our ongoing Sunday morning integrated Yoga meditation class has found a new home–just in time for spring! Starting on Sunday, April 17, we will gather at Be Wellness, a warm and sweet and lovely little studio located at 2715 1/2 East 42nd Street in the Standish neighborhood of south Minneapolis. The studio is at street level, and so look for the “1/2” on the door.

All levels of experience are welcome, and come hungry–the studio is next to A Bakers’s Wife pastry shop, which some say has the best donuts and the swellest baker in town (see for yourself).

We won’t be holding our integrated Yoga meditation class on Sunday morning, March 6. We’ll be back blooming next week and for the remaining Sundays in March.

What Is a Mantra?

Because these syllabic combinations of sounds to meditate on come from the highest, deepest meditations as a great consciousness sending forth a wave, they are also the best vehicles for meditation because they lead you slowly, gradually, imperceptibly back inward to that level of consciousness. They are the homing pigeons of consciousness. So what is a mantra? … sounds received by the great yogis, great masters in their highest states of medition — their consciousness coming outward and becoming articulate. ~Swami Veda Bharati
