MEDITATION & MINDFUL MOVEMENT

Gather with those who are interested in pursuing and strengthening a meditation practice. We will spend a short period in guided gentle movement, followed by sitting together in silence, and ending with a brief group closing. Street clothes are appropriate for this class. Our intention is to create a time and space where anyone can begin the day in peace and collectedness. The downtown Concord community is welcomed and encouraged to come and try meditation.

At Living Yoga we want to extend many opportunities for students to be able to fit our class times into their schedule as well as offer students the opportunity to begin where they are on any particular day at any Living Yoga class.  Therefore, all our classes (except for Led Primary Series classes) are for students of all levels and students can attend any class without prior experience.  At any given class there may be a student who is experiencing their first yoga class, a student who is returning after years away from the practice, and a student who practices 3 times per week.  The individuality of all students contributes to the collective energy of each class, making each experience unique and special.  
If you are new to the practice and do not feel ready to come to an all levels class, we recommend beginning with the Gentle Flow, Anusara-Inspired, or Mysore classes and join the other classes once you feel comfortable doing so. 

**For pregnant students:  Although most health care professional will enthusiastically give the go ahead for beginning or continuing yoga during your pregnancy, we request that you speak with your health care professional prior to attending classes.  Also, it is required that  you talk to the teacher leading that particular class prior to attending class so they can evaluate where you are at in your current practice and/or discuss your pre-pregnancy fitness level.  If you have high blood pressure and/or complications during your pregnancy, it may be suggested that you take a break from your practice or continue your practice with one-on-one private sessions. 
If you have any questions and/or would like guidance about where to begin your yoga practice, please call us, e-mail us or come by the studio.
