Yoga with Melinda: Gather in Community
with Melinda Thomas
Thursday, June 23, 2022
3-4 pm Ireland/UK time
10-11am Eastern
7-8am Pacific
Program Overview
In honor of International Yoga Day on June 21st, we will gather together and celebrate our yoga practice in community. Cultivating community is one of the principles of the Abbey’s Monk Manifesto. When we join together for asana we participate in a vast network of people across the planet moving and breathing together to find healing, rest, growth, and transformation. This work is not only for ourselves. In practicing self-care with one another, we build our capacity to act as agents for compassionate action in the world. Two blocks, a strap or scarf, and a blanket are recommended.
In our Abbey yoga classes Melinda blends principles of Benedictine and inclusive spirituality with gentle, fluid asanas (yoga postures) for an experience of contemplative movement. No prior yoga background necessary. All bodies welcome.
The program will be recorded for those who pre-register but are unable to attend at the scheduled time.
