On Thursday, March 31 @ 12:00pm (EDT), highly respected researcher, life-long yoga practitioner and sought-after speaker, Dr. Sat Bir Singh Khalsa will be speaking about “The Science and Biomedical Research on Yoga: Enhancing Mindfulness, Awareness and Global Consciousness”. 

Each session will open with taking some time to connect and presence ourselves in the virtual space: unmuting ourselves, saying hello, telling a story, saying something about how things are going. Next, we will do some breathwork, then a short gratitude practice, and then a short practice of acknowledging (silently) our hopes, our longings, what we are wanting more of in/from life, maybe even asking for it. Following this we will do one of three practices: 1. Coming to our senses 2. Cultivating Equanimity 3. Guided Imagery (active imagination)
