For hope would be hope for the wrong thing; wait without love
For love would be love for the wrong thing; there is yet faith
But the faith and the love and the hope are all in the waiting.
Wait without thought, for you are not ready for thought:
So the darkness shall be the light, and the stillness the dancing.

Mira's Yoga and Meditation Offerings Hot Vinyasa Yoga: In a room heated to 80°- 90°, students can more easily flow through yoga postures while cleansing toxins from the body and being encouraged by the heat - as muscles, ligaments, and tendons soften - to be more present to the sensations and the supportive rhythms of the breath.
Beginner
Yoga:
This class is for students
who are new to yoga, have had an absence from yoga, or for students who prefer a
slower pace. Each
posture is accompanied by specific verbal instructions and benefits. Breath
awareness, mental concentration, and formal relaxation are also introduced in
Beginner Yoga. Restorative
Yoga: All-Level class that focuses on increasing flexibility and
relaxation. Postures
are held for a longer period of time, allowing breath, gravity, and the warmth of the
body to gradually lengthen the muscles and loosen the connective tissue around
the joints. This
class is a great complement to aerobic exercise and weight training. Meditation Class: Meditation is an ancient spiritual practice that has been demonstrated in contemporary scientific research to have numerous physical, mental, and emotional health benefits. A daily meditation practice has been shown to increase mental concentration, focus, and clarity; decrease blood pressure and stress hormones in the body; increase self-awareness; balance the emotions; and produce a deeper sense of connection and well-being. Each week in this mindfulness meditation class, we will learn and practice new skills including developing a relationship to the inner observer, quieting the ongoing chatter of the mind, working with internal obstacles and strong emotional states, being in the present moment, and experiencing greater self-compassion and acceptance. This class will provide the basic concepts and skills to develop an ongoing home practice.
