Full Moon Meditation Yoga

Meditating at the time of a full moon allows one to look within, get centered, and focus on inner calming. Combined with yoga, these classes involve breath movement, easy and modified postures, along with gentle stretching and relaxation techniques. Whether you experience physical or emotional challenges and prefer a slower, gentler practice, you will find this experience beneficial.

Wear comfortable clothing and bring a mat, blanket, singing bowls, hand drums or anything that brings you solace, along with bottled water. Led by certified yoga instructor Patrick Guillen. For more information or location change due to severe weather, call 254.298.5597.
