Take a look at the new mindfulness meditation and yoga classes, workshops and events coming up with Five Rivers Yoga.

Arrive in your life.
Nourish your spirit.
Enliven your body.

By teaching you how to tend to your own nourishment and renewal, Five Rivers Yoga offers support with: navigating life changes, easing stress, and enhancing healing.

Because thoughts and emotions impact our well-being, and the condition of the body affects how we feel, you will learn to attend to the mind and attune to the body. Personalized sessions allow breathing room for what’s going on in your life and how this is expressed in your body. Through an integrative approach, we combine slow yoga, mindfulness meditation, and emotional support.

Five Rivers Yoga will remind you how to go slowly and listen deeply, through instruction in relaxation and awareness practices: restorative and therapeutic yoga, breathing practices, and mindfulness meditation.

How to arrive in the midst of our lives with presence and awareness. Choose a “mindfulness bell” —something that will remind you to pay attention. This can be a sound, event, action, sight— something that occurs regularly during your day. When it does, the mindfulness bell reminds you to pause, feel the breath, and notice what’s here in the present moment.

Creative and healthy ways to feed our bodies, hearts, and spirits. Call a friend you haven’t had much time with lately and make a date: for a talk, a walk, a meal. What’s more important than time together?

Practices to restore and relax. C’mon and lie down. In a warm, quiet room, prepare three blankets; a cushion or pillow; an eye pillow or scarf to cover your eyes; and a timer. Place one blanket on the floor— a soft, warm surface. Fold another blanket neatly, for beneath your head. Sit down and place the cushion under your bent knees. Lie down and cover yourself with the third blanket. Set the timer… at least 20 minutes. Cover your eyes… and voila! savasana.
