Gratitude Practice

About this event

In this 90-minute Vinyasa + Restorative practice, we’ll explore gratitude as a state of mind that can be cultivated and strengthened through practice. We’ll begin with Tartuk, a Tibetan Buddhist meditation in which we contemplate joy by rejoicing in our own positive actions and the good we’ve brought into the world. By directing our attention toward what is going well rather than what is lacking, we train the mind to recognize and rest in gratitude. We’ll carry this intention into Surya Namaskar, traditionally practiced as an offering to the sun, whose light and warmth sustain life on Earth. Through movement and breath, we’ll build heat and explore how physical postures can amplify and deepen our mental posture. As we transition into restorative postures, we’ll slow down, soften and allow the practice to settle. Note that this is a donation based class.
