This is the mid week reset that you have been looking for!

A free community offering offered every week at our yoga studio to welcome and serve anyone looking to have a taste of inner peace.

Sadhana is a Sanskrit term used to refer to a disciplined spiritual practice. This guided sadhana is gentle and beginner friendly. It incorporates yoga practices that will help quiet the mind allowing one to go inwards.
We will begin with gentle yoga to relax and stretch the body. Accompanied by affirmations this style of yoga (called Ananda Yoga) helps one become aware of energy flows in the body. It may be followed by pranayam (breathwork) practices to further this state of balance and deep relaxation.

Once the body is relaxed, we will quiet the mind with a 25 minute guided meditation. The simple technique offered will allow one to focus and tune into the breath as a tool to calm the mind.

The session will leave you feel refreshed, rejuvenated and calm within.
All are welcome - even if you have never tried yoga or meditation before. No registrations required and no cost for this offering. Please arrive before 7pm to be settled and ready. No need to bring anything. Come dressed in comfortable clothing. Yoga mats and props will be provided.

No cost. All are welcome.

Ananda is Sanskrit for “joy.” We’re one of the largest and oldest centers for meditation training in northern California. Thousands have learned to meditate here over the past 50 years.

Ananda is also one of the largest centers in the world for the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda, author of the spiritual classic, Autobiography of a Yogi.
