Moving Meditation

This is an open-level Iyengar yoga class. It is open to students of all shapes, sizes, and abilities. In this class, new students will learn the basic points of “doing yoga” and intermediate and advanced students will be introduced to more challenging poses. We’ll do standing poses, seated, forward and backward extensions, twists, arm balances, and inverted poses. The poses will be approached as moving meditations. The goal is to learn to use the poses to quiet the mind. Once a month, we will do restorative poses and practice breathwork. Props, modifications, and alternatives will always be offered. Iyengar yoga is a safe and ethical system with the goal of alignment to experience divinity.

The Vipassana group on Tuesday is not an Institute course, but rather a community group that is mostly enjoying sitting practice together, and is just getting organized. The Buddhist View 100 (Foundations) is currently in its final few weeks. It is not scheduled to repeat at the present time, though if requested by several people it will return as early as this summer.

Do you offer instruction in Vipassana, or are the meditation times just for those already familiar with the technique? Also, do you know when you’ll be starting the 100 course anew?

Beginner’s Mind Sangha hosts a book study group Sundays, 10am until noon. The current book is “Awakening of the Heart, Essential Buddhist Sutras and Commentaries” by Thich Nhat Hanh. We are reading the first sutra in the book pertaining to the Full Awareness of Breathing and will discuss pages 59 thru 72. The book study group is open to everyone. As with all of BIBS activities there is no charge to participate, although generosity is appreciated.
