Building the Foundation for Meditative Living: Breath Texture
2025-02-02 14:00 - 15:30 (America/New_York) | Villa Maria Spiritual and Education Center, PA, United States
Breath Texture is a transformative mindfulness exercise designed to deepen your self-awareness by focusing on the subtle qualities of your breath. In this 90-minute workshop, you’ll explore the texture of your breath—such as its depth, speed, and temperature—revealing hidden insights about your emotions, thoughts, and physical state. Inspired by Zen traditions, this practice encourages you to simply observe your breath without judgment or control, allowing you to connect with your present moment experience. By tuning into your breath’s natural rhythm, you’ll learn to release tension, manage stress, and cultivate emotional balance. Whether you’re new to mindfulness exercises or experienced, Breath Texture provides accessible tools to improve focus, emotional resilience, and mindfulness in everyday life. Join us to discover the power of your breath and unlock greater clarity, peace, and presence in your life.

Yogic Meditation
2025-02-08 10:45 - 11:30 (America/New_York) | Yoga Element, 5094 Market St, Boardman, OH, 44512, United States
Join us for a 45-minute, in-person class where we will spend time in the practice of the internal limbs of yoga: dharana, dhyana and samadhi. Dan Rotnem, founder of YourTurn, will give instruction and teachings on the process of yogic meditation, followed by a period of Q&A to integrate and refine our understanding. Then we will end with a guided meditation journey to put it all into practice. The focus of the teaching will be on unifying the mind and tapping into meditative bliss. Accessing this depth of mind is rocket fuel for super-charging our lives and deepening our practice, which can lead to profound insight.
