Connect to Grace: Vigorous Asana and Zen Meditation with Elena Brower

CONNECT TO GRACE: Vigorous Asana and Zen Meditation with Elena Brower
Sunday, October 5th | 9:00am-12:00pm | True Nature Kiva
True Nature Healing Arts
100 N 3rd St Carbondale, CO


This offering is available for access individually or as a full weekend pass to our RECONNECT retreat.


In this magnificent morning session, we’ll explore the powerful intersection of vigorous asana and Zen meditation. Practice is participation in our lives, holding ourselves steady, actively investigating our edges and meeting them with the breath. Connect to the grace within you through this sequence of postures crafted to strengthen, open and settle your body and being.

Together, we’ll hold steady in the present moment, actively investigating our physical and mental edges—not to push past them, but to meet them with curiosity, compassion, and grace.

As the body becomes more spacious and grounded, we’ll transition into seated meditation, allowing the movement to settle into stillness. This final practice invites integration and clarity, offering a chance to simply be—with whatever arises.


REGISTER NOW through our ticketing page.

This offering can be purchased separately, or to dive into the fullest experience of these teachings, please join us for the entire weekend retreat!


This gorgeous weekend combines offerings of meditation, yoga, Ayurveda and contemplation, exploring the transformative nature of autumn. Surrounded by the majestic Rocky Mountains, True Nature Healing Arts provides a sanctuary fostering inspiration, connection and self-discovery.

Deva and Elena blend their respective studies and decades of experience to bring enriching classes, discussions, contemplations and explorations of what it means to empty the mind, reset the body and begin again from the heart.
