Stretching, Breathing and Meditating
Meditating is a non-doing.
In the East it is a practice that has been part of the culture for thousands of years, but in our Western lifestyle, we are not encouraged to do this. We end up developing a restless body and mind that becomes an obstacle when we just want to sit in silence, relaxed and present.
In the Stretching, Breathing and Meditating workshop, we will first prepare our body to be able to sit more comfortably. Let’s release the joints, relax tensions and find points of support in the body that help us to sit with the spine straight and immobile, making the body receptive to a meditative space.
Next, let’s work on breathing so that it can be an anchor for the moment, keeping us present and awake. Exercises to expand the movement of the diaphragm and increase our awareness of how we breathe are the way to release and expand the breath.
At the end of the classes, we will be prepared to sit down and surrender ourselves to this non-doing, inviting the meditation to take place.
