Movement Meditation: Key Benefits of Mysore Yoga

While many might think of meditation as a linear practice involving a seated position and sitting in silence, the term itself is an umbrella for non-linear methods of presence. All forms of meditation have their benefits, with mindfulness at the forefront, but one of the most approachable methods has to be movement meditation. Some forms of movement meditation include intentional stretching, walking, dancing, tai chi, and our forte, yoga. BODY has designed a yoga program for those who desire mindful movement and a powerful community to practice with. Our Mysore class may just be your next favorite class and form of meditation. The best part is that once you memorize the sequence, you can do it anywhere. 

 Mysore’s namesake derives from a city in India, popular for its connection with Ashtanga yoga. This practice looks like a self-paced class where students go through a series of yoga sequences and poses while receiving personalized instruction from the yoga teacher. One of the elements that make this practice so special is its community setting where you bear witness to others who began at the same point with evolved practices you will one day achieve.
