About this Workshop
Preparing your body for easeful, wakeful sitting is a great gift to your meditation practice. By engaging with curiosity and openness to possibilities, you can discover and cultivate strength, flexibility and freedom within your right-now body. If you struggle with pain or stiffness while sitting, or if you are curious about physical experiences related to your sitting practice, come learn how to gently coax your body into the kindest possible posture for stillness, contentment and insight.
Important logistics:
- Guided practice during each session will be video-recorded; no other portion of the sessions will be recorded. You will have access to the guided practice video-recordings for the week following each session. It's best if you can commit to practicing 2-3 times with the recording between sessions.
- You will receive an email before the workshop with more information on how to prepare and what to bring.
Workshop Goals
During this workshop you will—
- Explore and move your whole body, systematically and wisely
- Identify sitting-related challenges with your body and begin to work with those challenges
- Practice sitting still with a fresh perspective
- Cultivate curiosity and equanimity around "problem" aspects of your body
- Option: briefly meet with the teacher 1:1 to explore your unique challenges
