Our session will be followed by a vegan potluck. Please bring a plant-based dish to share for the potluck, and bring a serving utensil if needed. Please bring your own reusable plate, utensils, etc. to keep our potluck as green as possible.

Satsang is a Sanskrit word that means a community of like-minded people who gather to support one another in seeking the Truth. Bhakti yoga is a practice of selfless devotion and is sometimes referred to as the "path of the heart." In recognizing the Divine in everything, practitioners may use chanting, devotional mantras, singing, prayer, kirtan, dancing, rituals, and selfless service as part of their practice. Surrender is both a necessary component and subsequent consequence of Bhakti yoga practice; by observing the divinity of everything in the universe, ideas of self and ego tend to dissolve, along with a sense of separation from others. The intention when practicing Bhakti yoga is to devote one's self to the Divine in everything, thereby realizing the union of atman (the individual self) with Brahman (universal consciousness).

Restorative Yoga & Yoga Nidra
with Megan Ruggiero
June 10
6:30-8:30pm
Replenish your spirit, relax your mind, and feel completely nurtured and cared for in this special restorative yoga and yoga Nidra class.
Restorative yoga is the yoga of non-doing, and students will be positioned in simple, comfortable poses while being supported by props--blankets, bolsters, yoga straps, blocks, and/or the wall. When fully supported, the body assumes a state of active relaxation, lengthening muscles and relieving tension effortlessly. Restorative yoga is a restful, replenishing experience that promotes harmony of mind, body, and spirit. It stimulates the body's parasympathetic nervous system thus promoting the "rest and digest" function.
Yoga Nidra, also known as "yogic sleep,” is a practice available to anyone and everyone. Typically induced by a guided meditation, it is a state of consciousness between sleeping and waking. It is practiced lying down to promote total rest and relaxation. Done at the end of an asana sequence, it serves to further prepare the body for meditation.
Suitable for all levels of practitioner, and no previous yoga experience is necessary. $30. Please pre-register as space is limited to 11 people.
