OM yoga Workshops with Cyndi Lee and David Nichtern
Join OM Yoga Center Director Cyndi Lee and senior Shambhala Buddhist teacher
David Nichtern, as you embark on a journey to invite your body and mind back
into balance. With humor, depth, and authenticity, these gifted teachers will guide
you in combining physical yoga and Buddist mindfulness, bringing ancient wisdom
alive and making it relevant to the realities of contemporary life.
Through yoga practice, you will explore how alignment, breathing, balancing, stretching, and strengthening provide the ideal opportunity to apply the Buddhist meditation techniques of watching your mind, recognizing your habits, and opening your heart. Daily dharma talks and sitting and walking meditations will help cultivate awareness and compassion—aspects of practice that help our minds become unbiased, wakeful, and connected.
This powerful union of yoga and Buddhism offers a recipe for awakening, enlivening, and transforming the energy of our bodies and minds in a way that carries into our lives off the yoga mat and meditation cushion. It becomes a way of living that infuses the daily adventures, encounters, and relationships of our lives with the energy of practice.
Whether a weekend or a weeklong program – YBBM explores the following topics through dharma talks, discussion, meditation and asana practice sessions:
Making Friends with Yourself
Introducing mindfulness meditation, and exploring how it can be
incorporated into flowing asana sequences as a method for developing
strength, stability and clarity of mind and body.
Dynamic Equilibrium
Finding balance in how we work with our own mind and body as a basis for
being "not too tight, not too loose" within our changing lives.
Obstacle as Path
Enriching our practice by learning that the difficulties we discover
are really the juice for going deeper!
Opening Your Heart
A guided meditation and heart opening yoga class to help us develop
loving kindness and compassion for ourselves and others.
