Yoga offers us a chance to explore new landscapes in our body and mind. Weekly classes are like short walks in a forest preserve - we can still hear the traffic of daily life.
�From time to time, it’s nice to take a longer hike and venture deeper into the wilderness of the self. Extended practice periods give us a chance to slow down and hear the quieter voices within. These voices often have important messages to convey.
�Join Nick for three luxurious hours of yoga, meditation and mindful outdoor experience at a nearby park (weather permitting). He will offer practices from the ParaYoga, Phoenix Rising and Kripalu traditions, poetically embroidered with relevant philosophy, evolutionary biology and brain science.
This expedition will include:
Lecture and conversation
Extended all-levels yoga practice
Guided relaxation
Periods of sitting and walking meditation (outside if weather permits)
A meditation practice to continue at home, if you wish
This afternoon is suitable anyone with basic yoga experience; no prior meditation experience is needed. Bring a snack and perhaps a journal. We have chairs for meditation.
If weather allows, we will spend the last hour of practice meditating with the natural world at Harbert Park in west Evanston. The park is a 5 minute drive from the studio; directions will be provided and car-pooling arranged.
Cost: $65, members save 15%, scholarships available
