Description

May 12, 2023 | 10:00am – 12:00pm | IN PERSON | Richland Public Library In this program, we will delve into the yoga definitions of mental wellness as well as yoga and meditation practices to improve and maintain mental health. The ancient yogis knew that it was necessary work to keep the mind healthy, just like you work to keep your body healthy. We will focus on what the yogis called “Klesha,” or causes of mental suffering, and how to work with and overcome the challenges we all face in our daily lives. The class will include gentle movement, breathing exercises and meditation to soothe the nervous system and calm the mind. Heather Anastos is the studio director at Yoga Community, a yoga studio in Kennewick, Washington, and co-director of the Rasayana School of Yoga (Kennewick & Leavenworth, WA).
