Meditation News
Meditation develops inner awareness, deepens compassion, and promotes balance. Mindfulness is the energy of being aware and awake to the present moment. It is the continuous practice of touching life deeply in every moment of daily life. To be mindful is to be truly alive, present, and at one with those around you and with what you are doing. In learning mindfulness meditation, we bring the body and mind into harmony while washing dishes, driving the car, or taking a morning shower. With the support of a community to practice with, we can cultivate peace and joy within and around us, as a gift for all of those for whom we love and care.
Heartsong Yoga is proud to present the work of Dean Hudson, for an afternoon immersion into exploring the practice of meditation and finding ways to bring it into your life.
We are also excited to host Robert Rivest for his new "Meditation and Mindful Movements" classes, offered on an ongoing basis right on our core class schedule of drop in classes, every Tuesday night at 7:30 pm. Use your class card or membership, or drop in.

This workshop will provide a sampling of various approaches to meditation, providing an opportunity to experientially explore which techniques are best suited for one's own temperament and aspirations.

Robert Rivest will be offering this class on an ongoing basis every Tuesday evening at 7:30 pm, on the "core class schedule." This means you can use your ten class yoga card or membership, or simply drop in and pay as you go, just like our yoga classes.
These classes will be a creative sampling of Buddhist and Toaist meditation techniques. In the session, you will explore sitting, standing, walking and moving meditation as well as breath-work, natural imagery and the mindful verses of Thich Nhat Hanh.
Robert Rivest has been a professional performing artist since 1983. He has presented over 4,000 educational programs covering humor, science, health and stress management. From his initial training in mime, dance, theatre and improvisation, Robert expanded his studies to include meditation, tai-chi, yoga, qigong, and breath-work. In 1997 Robert developed his Meditation and Mindful Movements series and has taught it in schools, yoga centers, hospitals and community centers ever since. He resides in Springfield, Ma with his wife Amelia and their twin daughters.
With Rob's down-to-earth sense of humor and engaging style, Meditation & Mindful Movements is a fun, natural and effective way to build concentration, quiet the mind, and calm the body.
