U of G Yoga and Meditation Collective is delighted to host the Annual Yoga Speaker Series that brings long-term practitioners, teachers, and academic researchers together in a compelling conversation with a diverse audience – students, staff, faculty, alumni, yoga practitioners and researchers. The series is about learning together. Learning how to use the teachings of these powerful speakers for your own reflection, contemplation and practice, truly taking Yoga off the mat and into your life.
Each session will open with taking some time to connect and presence ourselves in the virtual space: unmuting ourselves, saying hello, telling a story, saying something about how things are going. Next, we will do some breathwork, then a short gratitude practice, and then a short practice of acknowledging (silently) our hopes, our longings, what we are wanting more of in/from life, maybe even asking for it.
Following this we will do one of three practices:
1. Coming to our senses
2. Cultivating Equanimity
3. Guided Imagery (active imagination)
