Meditation workshop, Saturday 2/27/21

2-3:30pm

In the Buddha's language, the word karuna means compassion -- the ability to respond to suffering with kindness and care. In these exceptionally challenging days when our resilience and wellbeing is constantly tested, the practice of self-compassion is a more critical support system than ever.

Research shows that practicing self-compassion decreases stress, anxiety, and depression, and increases our emotional resilience and wellbeing.

In this workshop, you’ll learn research-backed meditative practices to cultivate self-compassion in your daily life and learn to handle what life throws at you with kindness and strength. (Note: This is a meditation workshop, and no movement will be involved.)

Join Gillian Gurish for this meditation workshop that will offer all of us a deeper dive into a life changing practice.

Gillian is a 500-hour Registered Yoga Teacher and a Certified Mindfulness Meditation teacher. She has been teaching yoga and meditation classes in Greater Boston since 2015. She is a graduate of Jacqui Bonwell's 300-hour teacher training and of the Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program with Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach, and holds additional certifications in yin & restorative yoga, myofascial release, kids' yoga, & Balanced Athlete®. With over a decade of personal practice experience, Gillian brings her love of mindful movement and stillness into every class and aims to create a safe, accessible, and empowering experience for all.

Join me for one of my personal yoga classes. I use this Bandha/Pranayama/Core inspired flow to bust through physical plateaus and to overcome energetic roadblocks whenever I’m feeling stuck. We’ll start with energetic, metabolism boosting breathing exercises, fire up the core, and move into a fiery, and quite frankly, one of the funnest flows in my personal practice, end with a sweet slow down and guided meditation. We’ll sweat a little, laugh a lot, and leave feeling energized and ready to break any roadblocks that dare to arise.

Breath work is a powerful and quick way to alter your mood. Behind every great athlete, actor, singer, public speaker there is a coach teaching them how to harness their breath to make their performance better. What about us!? The householders, the do-it-yourselfers, the life-livers? These techniques can help us perform better at work, show up more fully for our family, get more creative and productive. We can learn how to amp up our energy and focus or relax and relieve chronic stress.

During this workshop we will learn why breath works to change your emotional and physiological states. We get to know our nervous system and how it works. Want a shot of happy hormones (dopamine)? We can use breath to get you there.

Let's come together via zoom to practice and play with breath techniques that you can use anywhere.
