We respect the body because it provides a vehicle for our enlightenment… If we’re ignoring our body, our mind has fewer and fewer possibilities to work with. A healthy body—and the ability to maintain it—demonstrates that we appreciate who we are and what we can do. —Sakyong Mipham
In ancient India and China, exercise and meditation were inseparable pathways to enlightenment. Today, the powerful techniques of yoga, tai chi, and qigong also provide antidotes to daily stress and offer lasting holistic benefits for the body, mind, and spirit.
When we cultivate the wisdom of our body and mind through specific postures, breathing exercises, and meditation, we experience peace. Our range of motion increases, our posture improves, our concentration is enchanced and, as we become more attuned to our individual needs, we make lifestyle choices that further promote health and well-being.
Come explore your body and mind through:
• Mindful running
• Ashtanga, Anusara, Hatha, and Kripalu Yoga
• Meditation and Tai Chi
• Chinese Qigong
