How do we listen - not just with our ears, but with our whole being?

In this yoga and meditation workshop, we will focus on the yogic limb of Dharana (i.e. ‘focused attention’ or ‘concentration’) in service of improving our ability to listen from our hearts. This 2-hour session will include a dharma talk, group discussion, meditation, and asana (physical movement). Grounded in practical techniques from Andrew’s experience as a mental health counselor and integrating core philosophical and practical concepts from the Yoga Sutras, together we’ll have an opportunity to strengthen our muscle of focused attention and sharpen our listening skills. Please join us, we’d love to hear your voice!
