SUNRISE PRACTICE
Hatha Yoga • Moving Meditation
Begin your day with a 60 minute practice of breath, presence, and gentle movement.
This is Hatha yoga rooted in awareness. A moving meditation designed to meet you exactly where you are.
All levels are welcome. All Bodies and Abilities. No pressure. No judgment. No expectations.
This is your space. Your body. Your breath. Your practice.
Come as you are. Move at your own pace. You will not be embarrassed here.
Taught by Rev. Dr. Shelley Best
MOVING MEDITATION
Deep Rest • Deep Reflection
This is the moment of Savasana.
Where the body softens.
Where the mind becomes still.
Through breath and stillness, you enter a space of moving meditation and mindfulness.
A space to refocus your mind.
A space to uncover opportunities for growth, healing, and peace.
As you rest, your body shifts into the parasympathetic nervous system, the place of restoration and renewal.
Heart rate slows.
Pressure softens.
The body begins to heal.
This is where clarity comes.
This is where focus is restored.
You rise grounded.
Calm.
Ready for the day ahead.
Growth. Healing. Peace.
