Maintaining Inner Awareness through Movement and Meditation
7:00 pm – 8:15 pm

Instructor: Tara Newhouse, RYT, RN

This virtual class series will focus on developing the practice of maintaining inner awareness, even as we go about the many activities of daily life, especially during the stressful and uncertain times through which we are currently living. When we learn to more consistently bring awareness to our inner experiences, a natural side-effect is that we are better able to more skillfully and compassionately engage with the external world. We begin this work with our very own bodies throughout the Yoga portion of class (7:00 pm – 8:00 pm) and then move into even more introspective practices focusing on the breath, heart, and mind in the Meditation portion of class (8:00 pm – 8:15 pm).

Tara has been a student of Sri ShambhavAnanda since 1999 and a teacher in the ShambhavAnanda Yoga lineage tradition since 2004. She feels like a beginner in the very best sense of the word as her practice continues to change and grow in the most inspiring and supportive ways along with the changes and chapters of life ~ and she continues to be in awe of the experience that there is always more to learn and be profoundly inspired by.
