FREE MEDITATION AT THE DIXON

Every Friday at The Dixon on Park, an informal group meets for meditation 12:00 – 12:30.  Chairs provided.  No sitting on the floor is necessary.  No experience is necessary.

Come practice being still and non-reactive to life’s ever increasing demand for our attention.  What you practice, strengthens!  Skills you will learn:

• How to choose “mindfully” what is best for you to notice in your daily life
• How to “respond with assurance” to stressors instead of just “reacting”
• Easy-to-do, practical ways to incorporate mindfulness into each day

Registration is not required.  Details at The Dixon website: click here

Afterward you can grab your lunch at Park & Cherry cafe inside the main building or check out Food Truck Fridays.  Each week a new truck is parked at the main entrance.

RESTORATIVE YOGA

Stress and trauma experienced in the body makes “samscaras” or memories that build negative layers of discomfort in the body. Yoga has proven results for coping with daily stress.  Come try our Restorative Yoga where we take simple yoga poses and use props to make them easier on the body.  We will then hold the poses a little longer to give time for the beneficial effects to really sink in.  Each class will end with a short guided meditation.  You will leave REFRESHED and RESTORED ready to face your week!

Date/Time/Location:  Tuesdays 11:30-12:30, Memphis Center for Mindful Living, 4646 Poplar, Suite 435.

Cost: $10 per CLASS – no prior registration necessary – ( Venmo @Karla-Ingram-3 )
