Yoga classes take place at the downtown New Brunswick studio (GoH) or our sister site House of Well-Being (HoWB) or at local parks (as weather permits). Classes can also take place at your location or at one of our community partners if a larger facility is needed.

MEDITATION

To realize one’s Self is the ultimate embrace of Life, to respond to the inner longing to belong and to know truth. Meditation as a regular practice offers the opportunity to consciously create space in the mind, despite anything already going on or despite the feeling that there isn’t room to think differently, to live differently. The very act of living can cause us to create ways of coping to just function, blocking out anything that presents as a stressor, threat or unmanageable situation. The practices offered at Garden of Healing are meant to help one collect their attention to the present moment- the only place where we actually have any power at all. By helping the individual become familiar with being an observer, one can learn be aware of what’s going on and not need anything in particular to happen in order to be okay. One can learn to distinguish between the activities of the mind (chitta vritti) and an identification with only a small part of creation (ahamkara)- which leads to a rejection of anything that is “not me” or “not like me”- and the consciousness (atmabodha). Everything exists and I exist. Everything exists in me and I exist in everything.

Meditation is incorporated into all Classic Yoga classes (Kundalini & Sivananda) as it is the natural progression of what one does after addressing physical and energetic tension through asana, pranayama & kriya. Meditation is also offered as a stand-alone class, as a private instruction and in workshop series where various types of practice are explored.
