Description

A 1-hour hike to build heat & calm the mind before a grounding outdoor meditation under the trees. Breath-work and Chakra Awareness offered Building heat (Tapas) through effort like hiking before meditation is great preparation to help the mind slow its roaming tendencies. Tapas in Sanskrit means heat, fire, or to burn impurities. In the 8th limb path of yoga, tapas is the practice of putting effort into an activity to create heat and ultimately more vitality. This can be done by simply by sitting in a more upright position while meditating, or by do physical activity like yoga or hiking. Doing tapas before we meditate opens our senses and churns our energies to prepare us for a more centered meditation. In this class we will be practicing tapas with a hike up the hill at the beautiful SLO Botanical Garden before our outdoor meditation practice. This Hiking & Meditation Class for Vitality will be offered every 1st & 3rd Wednesdays of the month.

REVIEWS: “ My Wife and I loved it. Unlike my wife, I had no idea about meditation, so I was all the more surprised how easy it was to relax through Dawn’s instructions. Dawn taught us the basics really well so that we will continue to meditate.
