A study to bring you one step closer to your Truth, your Self and your Heart...while transitioning from the introspection of Winter to the awakening of Spring.

In this Meditation Study Circle we will explore timeless truths through self-inquiry, meditation and discussion in our signature Meditation Study Circle format led by Laura Shockley, the founder of Point Lookout Yoga. To facilitate our conversation, we will engage in a study of the literary classic, Siddhartha, by Hermann Hesse. Siddhartha is a philosophical novel that follows the quest of a young brahmin in India on his spiritual journey to enlightenment, along the way revealing some of the most important truths of our existence.
Our signature Study Circle format encourages inquiry, personal growth and spiritual evolution through guided meditation, study and dialogue. Our journey will take place over the course of 5 weeks transitioning us from the introspective nature of Winter to the awakening of Spring. and is perfect for anyone who is looking to begin, renew or enhance an existing meditation practice, or simply take one step closer to knowing the Self and the heart.

We will use the book Siddhartha, translated by Joachim Neugroschel (other translations are available - however, this is the one that will be specifically referenced). Limited copies of the book are available at Joyful Treasures and will be offered to Study Circle students at a 10% discount. Upon registration please reach out and reserve your copy.

This course will be held Live Virtually through Zoom so that students can participate from the comfort of their sacred space at home.

About Laura:
Laura Shockley is the founder of Point Lookout Yoga and the owner of Joyful Treasures, an adjoining boutique and spa which expands upon the holistic offerings of PLY, providing curated inspired gifts and a wellness space for sacred healing, organic facials and Ayurvedic and traditional body treatments.

Laura has been practicing and studying Yoga for just over 30 years. Her passion has evolved into a mission to positively affect change in people’s lives through the practice of Yoga, both on and off the Mat in the beautiful seaside community of Point Lookout, NY.

Welcoming and encouraging students of all levels, Laura teaches intuitively from the heart, providing elements of compassion, spirituality, gratitude and motivation in her classes. Inspired by the ancient teachings of India and Sri Lanka, she focuses her students on the movement of energy through the body and mind as a vehicle for deep self-inquiry into the higher states of consciousness.

Laura's studies have taken her on several pilgrimages to India, Sri Lanka and Malaysia where she deepened both her Yoga practice and her Spiritual devotion. A believer that travel (and removing yourself from everyday life) inspires personal and spiritual transformation, Laura leads students in Self-Inquiry retreats and trainings with the goal of cultivating tools and practices that can then be implemented at home. She has developed a series of Meditation Study Circle courses at PLY, incorporating the ancient spiritual teachings from her travels and brings them to our local waterways with PLY’s signature Meditation Cruises. Laura also leads international retreats each year.

Laura has received specialized training in the areas of Hatha, Vinyasa, Restorative, Yin Yoga, Classical Yoga Nidra and Meditation, as well as instruction in teaching the aging population and students with disabilities, including cancer.

She has also completed her Ayurvedic Health Counselor Certification at CCA and has received specialized training in Ayurvedic Body Therapies, including, Abhyanga, Shirodhara, Svedana, Marma and Ayurvedic Facial Rejuvenation and offers these sacred healing treatments at Joyful Treasures. Laura is continuing her Ayurvedic education at CCA, where she is pursuing her Ayurvedic Health Counselor Internship. Over the years she has received well over 500 hours of teacher training. Laura is certified 200 E-RYT, RYT 500 and YACEP with Yoga Alliance. She received her 300 hour advanced Yoga Teacher Training with Jason Crandell.
