SUMMER SOLSTICE – JUNE 21, 2014
• TRANSFORM • RENEW • HEAL • ENERGIZE •
Celebrate Summer with 108 Sun Salutations!
Embrace change, new beginnings, and new opportunities. Close the door on old habits and stagnate energy. Harness the power of a sacred cycle honoring and celebrating the connection between endings and beginnings.
WHO:
Everyone is welcome! Myra, Jared, and Mike K will keep count and offer suggestions, modifications, and encouragement so that even someone who has never practiced yoga can experience the power and benefits of this invigorating practice.
WHAT:
A Sun Salutation (Surya Namaskar) is a full mind-body-spirit workout. The full range of motions within the practice, as well as the seamless connection to breath, establishes a meditative state and an awareness of each present moment. Practicing 108 Sun Salutations is a traditional way to celebrate seasonal changes, while promoting peace, healing, and personal transformation.
WHEN & WHERE: Saturday, June 21, 2014
-
Downtown-Minneapolis YMCA9:35 AM - 12:35 PM
Why is it so long?
We will breathe and flow as a community, at a pace appropriate for everyone within our sacred circle. Each round will begin with a dedication and end with a “restorative moment.” The traditional practice, including Savasana (a final resting pose) will take approximately 3 hours.
Since the physical practice prepares the body for a deep-seated meditation, everyone is invited to stay for a guided meditation.
How much?
The Downtown-Minneapolis mala is for YMCA members and their guests. It is also a donation-based event benefiting the YMCA Annual Campaign. Please contact the Downtown-Minneapolis YMCA about parking on Saturday.
