Join the Monday Samadhi Yoga group practice
LET'S GO!About the practice.
The Samadhi Yoga practice supports a life of ease and integration through the effortless weaving of a gentle yoga practice (asana and pranayama) and the discovery of the timeless and very relatable themes of the Yogic literature. Inspired by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's Teachings and the Classical Yoga First Set, the practice specifically focuses on both activity and rest. This class is a slow, kind, and therapeutic variation with a special orientation toward harmonizing all systems and aspects of the body and mind. This coordination paves the way for the practitioner to experience Wholeness within, which is the ultimate goal of all Yoga.

What you need.
- Zoom. Once you sign up and pay, you'll receive the link.
- Tablet or Computer with Camera. Please make sure that you place your computer/camera on a lower table, like a coffee table. This allows me to see you and offer feedback so you can be comfortable and enjoy the practices.
- Comfortable clothes to move in. It's always a good idea to wear organic cotton and natural fibers rather than synthetic ones.
- A yoga mat.
- Two 4-inch yoga blocks.
- Two - Three heavy yoga blankets. These provide more support than the thinner ones and are easier to streamline instead of pillows and random bolsters in group classes. You can easily fold them into different shapes, roll them, etc. They are very versatile, soft, and made of recycled materials. They can be purchased here. **Please call the company directly to order - you and some friends will be able to order several of them and receive a total discount.
- An open mind and an inquisitive approach. You may be joining this practice with some previous experience whether you have practiced with me or not. I invite you to be curious and enjoy.

First Theme: The Outer Depends on the Inner
In order for us to live fully and stay in contact with Being, we must nurture our connection with our inner world and life. We must take the time to go within. Enjoy this theme as you learn to commit to your practice regularly and lean into the supportive community here every Monday evening. I look forward to seeing you soon.
Jai Guru Dev.
