A Meditation Circle
Dates and Times Vary

*Check the schedule to make sure the circle is meeting before you make the trip to the studio.

This 60 minute breath-centric dynamic āsana practice involves coordinated movements that extend from the inhales and exhales, as breath is the basis and foundation. By promoting balance of the brain’s hemispheres through regulated breathing, the calming, meditative effect of this practice encourages a conscious relationship with the part of ourselves that governs blood pressure, heart rate, digestion, respiration, and more. Join us and give your mind and body the love, attention, and nourishment they deserve and need in order to heal and perform their best.

WHAT TO EXPECT

In this one hour active meditation session, Damon combines the principles of breath and movement found in the Viniyoga tradition. Starting with the breath we bring the mind and body into sync, then we combine slow fluid movements to bring awareness to how the body and the breath interact. By the end of the session, we will have a complete "flow" that helps bring mind, body, spirit, and soul together to create a relaxed and refreshed state of being.

WHAT TO BRING

Participants should dress comfortably and in layers. Bring a yoga mat or meditation pillow if you have one. If you don't, we have a few to share. These meditation sessions can also be done seated in chairs for those unable to sit on the floor or stand for long periods of time.

Damon Givehand

Yoga āsana helps us live healthier, and more than that, Yoga, in its truest form, has the power to influence us to actualize our fullest human potential. In this spirit, Damon has fervently studied and practiced essential yoga for almost two decades and strives to incorporate his personal study and practice into every facet of his life, including his teaching and mentoring. His growing interest in yoga led him to completing multiple certifications: 200-hr Ashtanga Yoga/Vinyasa Flow, 500-hr Viniyoga, and he’s currently working toward completing an Advanced 1000-hr Yoga Therapist Certification.

​Beyond his formal training, Damon is passionate about Patañjali’s Yoga Sūtras, the most widely accepted authoritative text on YOGA, and has dedicated much of his time toward studying and learning the word-for-word translations of the sūtras, their overall meanings, practical applications they have to everyday life, and how to chant them in their original Sanskrit (which he now also teaches). Damon recognizes that yoga is just a word, if we remove the word, we are left with the practice — a way of being that enlivens us to blossom so we may live life in full bloom. Damon prefers to meet a person where they are and support and inspire them to create and experience the most incredible and rich life possible.
