Introduction to Yoga and Meditation
Are you new to yoga and meditation?
Are you a “former” meditator/ yogi who lost your practice along the way? Are you interested in yoga and meditation but don’t know where to begin? Do you want a safe and welcoming environment for exploring the basics?
Would you like a take-home practical toolkit for bringing yoga and meditation in your life?
If you answered YES to any of these questions then INTRODUCTION TO YOGA AND MEDITATION is for you.
In 2011 you have three opportunities to experience a beautiful weekend immersion in yoga and meditation with Megha at Kripalu Center in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. This program is accessible to everyone and will include:
• Daily sequential guided yoga experiences
• Pranayama (breath techniques) to calm the nervous system and steady the mind
• A sampler of five meditation techniques: seated breath awareness, walking meditation, chanting, meditation-in-motion, and metta (loving-kindness) meditation
• Daily immersion in deep relaxation
• A take-home practice sequence
* Included in this program is Megha’s CD “Moontides.” It will be gifted to you at the end of the program and will become a part of your take home practice.
Come experience for yourself the amazing range of benefits that yoga and meditation have to offer in this relaxing, renewing, inspiring weekend.
Introducing yoga and meditation to the newcomer is Megha’s specialty. A director of Kripalu Yoga Teacher Training (a 200 hour Yoga Alliance certified training), Megha teaches thousands of people each year. If you are worried that you “can’t” meditate, Megha will help you.

What people are saying about Intro to Yoga and Meditation
Thank you for a truly wonderful “Introductions to Yoga and Meditation” weekend. We all learned a lot and enjoyed every moment. You are a phenomenal teacher and mentor. Your knowledge, patience, practical examples, great sense of humor and charisma mad the session the success it was for all of us. You taught and led us in a completely professional manner. We are also continuing to integrate the breathing and stretching regimens you suggested into our daily lives. It was a great, life-enhancing experience. I also look forward to working with you in an effort to bring you into the future CEO sessions that our business will host next year and beyond. Thanks again, Megha.

The most valuable part of Intro to Yoga and Meditation was learning from Megha! She is extraordinary; a knowledgeable and inspiring teacher. She is both spiritual and fun. She is warm, encouraging, open, and had us all laughing and crying at the same time. The actual program content, meditation, yoga, and breath-work, was outstanding. Please don’t change anything.

I love the walking meditation practice. It helped me find my own sense of inner calm.

Megha, one of the best parts of this program is you. Your ebullient, joyous energy is infectious, and you got us doing all kinds of things so quickly. We would follow you anywhere. Thank you.

Metta Meditation
Here is a simple metta (loving kindness) meditation to be done any time of day: when you first awake in the morning, throughout the day as a gesture of grace and gratitude, if you are troubled by something, or as a final farewell to your day:
May all beings be happy
May all beings be peaceful
May all have ease of well-being
May all beings live in harmony and grace
May all beings be free
