Mapping the Inner Life

Meditation and embodied-awareness practices are essential tools in cultivating presence of mind and body such that we can live more joyful, mindful lives and be of more meaningful benefit in the world. Those who have practiced contemporary yoga often reap the physical and emotional benefits that come from yoga-asana without a deep experience of four of Patanjali’s eight limbs of yoga (turning within, concentration, meditation, and absorption). This course bridges that gap. Those coming to this course with a background in seated meditation will learn to integrate a variety of embodied-awareness practices into mindful movement practices. This course is open to anyone looking to integrate a meditation practice into their lives as well as those who want to teach meditation.

This course is a part of the JOY of Yoga 300-Hour Teacher Training Core Curriculum, and also open to the public, with eligibility for 15 CEUs (Continuing Education Units). Apply here for courses to be eligible toward the 300-Hour.
