Sit With

Welcome the new year by initiating and remembering sankalpa, or the heart's longing. Yoga becomes a living and practical practice when we align our thoughts, words, and actions to our sankalpa. Yoga, then becomes an offering to the well-being, the freedom, and joy for all beings everywhere. 

In this episode, Meredith guides you to the bottom of the exhale, only to observe the new and life-giving inhale. Through this practice, we learn about impermanence and the life-death-life again cycle. Meredith shares a bit of her own and current experience with letting a relationship go and staying open and present to what THIS new moment has to offer. She talks about avidya, or the inability to see things or be with things as they are, and how the practice of meditation helps us engage more honestly with life as it arises, unfolds, and passes away.

In this very first episode, Meredith take some time guiding you into a comfortable and sustainable seat. She then offers a 4-part breathing practice to lengthen and strengthen the breath and follows up with a simple, focal-point meditation. She talks about how this practice is about being and staying AWAKE in the world- living more clearly, fully, and compassionately. 

I am so excited to share my newest project, Sit With: A Meditation and Contemplation podcast! This will be a weekly invitation to start your week with clarity, calm, and intention. I will be sharing simple and accessible meditation practices that I have found life-changing and life-giving. I love yoga and the movement practice but for me, meditation is the HEART of yoga. It is through this practice that I have learned to know where my attention is and to more consciously and kindly CHOOSE where and how to place it. Meditation has given me the tools and skills to be awake in the world. It is through this practice of sitting that I am more able to walk through my days and life with rich energy, vitality, and passion. 

So mark your calendars, subscribe below, and join me Monday, November 13th for our very first episode!

Lots of Love,

Meredith
