"Eat, Pray, Love" at First U!
Kundalini Yoga and Meditation Continues on Tuesday nights and some early Sunday mornings!
This is the yoga of awareness. All yoga classes include breathwork, a physical yoga set, a deep relaxation, and a meditation with or without mantra. Each class is a stand-alone experience, even if we are working on a theme over several weeks, so it is okay to drop in and try it. It can be modified to chair yoga too!
Yoga is a spiritual path and a discipline whose rewards are great. One element of practice is “group sadhana”, or coming together for daily practice. In an ashram this is held each day before dawn. For our yoga community we are grateful to be able to come together about once per month. Please follow the website for the next date for this one hour of yoga and one hour of chanting, 5-7 am on variable Sundays.
Our Tuesday night class is growing and will continue from 7:30-9 pm in the Chapel. Periodic workshops will be announced and listed as well. The donations generated from the class are passed along to charity, including for the work of the church, and the Worcester County Food Bank. The theme for the first 5 weeks after Labor Day will be “ Five Sutras for the Aquarian Age”. ( for example: “There is a way through every block. ”)
Please visit kundaliniyogaforall.com (also googles as Anahata yoga) for class details, or call Diane Pingeton 508-753-1797. Sat Nam!
