New Sunday Morning Location

I’m super excited to announce that our ongoing Sunday morning integrated Yoga meditation class has found a new home–just in time for spring! Starting on Sunday, April 17, we will gather at Be Wellness, a warm and sweet and lovely little studio located at 2715 1/2 East 42nd Street in the Standish neighborhood of south Minneapolis. The studio is at street level, and so look for the “1/2” on the door.

All levels of experience are welcome, and come hungry–the studio is next to A Bakers’s Wife pastry shop, which some say has the best donuts and the swellest baker in town (see for yourself).

Honoring Sri Pattabhiram

March 20th, 2016 | Posted by Jennifer in Uncategorized - (0 Comments)

A dear and inspiring teacher, Sri Pattabhiram, left his body this past week. I will always remember and deeply respect his gentleness, good will, loving sensitivity and connection to the lineage of teachers before him. His constant refrain was always, “Please see the beauty in this.”

Listen to his lecture How to Become Divine. And please see the beauty.

No Integrated Practice on March 6

We won’t be holding our integrated Yoga meditation class on Sunday morning, March 6. We’ll be back blooming next week and for the remaining Sundays in March.

I am excited to be participating in a wonderful one-day women’s retreat–The Gathering–held at Unity Church-Unitarian in St. Paul on Saturday, January 30. This year’s theme is joy and here’s a description of the morning session I will lead:

Meditation: Opening to Joy
Ancient Yogic texts say that our essence is pure bliss and joy. In this guided, participatory workshop, we’ll learn simple steps toward opening to this joy, include gentle movement, diaphragmatic breath, deep relaxation, and an easy, effective seated meditation practice that you can incorporate into your daily life.

New Class: Introduction to Yoga Philosophy

December 19th, 2015 | Posted by Jennifer in philosophy | Yoga Sutras - (0 Comments)

On Wednesday evenings in January, my good pal Eric Ness and I will be leading a discussion of core ideas from the Yoga Sutras, the ancient Yogic text written by the sage Patanjali. We’ll not only have terrific discussions of the text, but also talk about ways of applying key insights to our lives and everyday practices.

We’ll be using Georg Feuerstein’s The Yoga-Sutra of Patanjali: A New Translation and Commentary.

See classes for more information and to see how to register. As always, contact me for answers to any of your questions.
