[Live Streamed] A Deep Winter Pause: Developing Mindfulness

This is an opportunity to set aside some time to get in touch with yourself and with what matters most. A Deep Winter Pause is your invitation to come home to the moment at hand, to slow down, to calm and get quiet within your own body. We will learn about mindfulness and explore how it can apply in your life.

In Mindfulness we learn to cultivate more and more moments of being mindful and awake, rather than trying to achieve a grand “mindfulness state”. We are not trying to be any certain way or get anywhere at all. Over time, we notice how kindness for ourselves and our experience is the recipe for less stress & more acceptance in our lives.

In this practice we will relax, reflect, move a little and listen, as we get familiar with our own inner quietude. This is a time for you to learn & explore mindfulness. There is no meditation experience required, all you need is a willingness to explore.

Mindfulness is a way of paying attention and being present for your own life.

About the instructor: Maria Bliss

Maria’s journey to yoga began as a child when she entered the world of movement as a dancer. As she grew and moved through this world as a dance teacher, professional dancer, fitness instructor and mother, yoga offered Maria spiritual solitude, peace and an opportunity to nurture herself. All of Maria’s passions came together with Power Vinyasa Yoga; a blending of strength and flexibility, a graceful flow of dance and an element of spirituality all beautifully integrated in this dynamic style of yoga. Maria has completed Level 1 teacher training with Baron Baptiste, two teacher training courses with Lisa Black and a full year in the Teaching Assistant Program (TAP) at Shakti. She completed Level 1 Iyengar teacher training with Aadil Palkivala and has studied intensely with Anna Forrest, Shiva Rae and Seane Corn. Maria strives to create a light-hearted, supportive environment for others who want to practice an integrated style of yoga. She believes that every person possesses the heart of a teacher and a student. She thrives on incorporating the blessings of both in her life.
