Mind Body Meditation

East Meets East. Many of us have experienced yoga as an extraordinary practice for awakening physical strength, balance and flexibility. We also enjoy the peaceful, calming side effects and radiant energy.  By integrating Buddhist meditation and nature-of-mind training with the physical, energetic and awareness practices of yoga, we can more consistently cultivate a flexible, steady mind, calm emotions, grounded wisdom, vibrant health and strength of heart.

At the core of all Atma Yoga practices, Buddhist principles and practices expand the yogic experience of vibrant, radiant health and body-mind awareness into more joyful wisdom, emotional clarity and kind hearted compassion towards self and others - the natural, next level of awakening.

Whether sitting in a lifeguard chair, in the midst of traffic, in a business meeting, on a yoga mat, or a meditation cushion the integrated practice of Yoga and Buddhism bring body- based awareness, emotional peace and warm hearted presence to our lives and the lives of others.

This liberating expansion of combined practice brings deep peace, mental clarity, relaxed concentration, emotional well being, spacious joy, wider compassion, increased humor, and a lighter heart.

This integration of body and breath with Buddhist transformational training for mind and heart, expanded my yoga from a wonderful practice of well being into a more expansive, kindhearted  way of life. 

Within a core of open spacious awareness, rests a clear inner sense of being grounded in deep, peaceful strength. This anchors the mind in a most peaceful and alert way effortlessly supporting easy repose and calm abiding attention.

Enhanced by intuitive movements and spontaneous insight, this blending of East meets East awakens a powerful new experience of natural, down to earth joy.
