Meditation for Sleep with Music

Tonglen is an ancient Buddhist meditation practice to awaken compassion. It means "taking in and sending out". With each in-breath, we take in others’ pain. With each out-breath, we send them relief.

It's the most powerful meditation I know, both for the meditator and the objects of our loving ...

A Metta Bhavana meditation, or cultivation of Loving Kindness.

May all beings feel safe.
May all beings feel healthy.
May all beings feel strong.
May all beings live with ease.
May the world never harden my heart.

This practice intends to ground you, to draw energy down into your roots.

We pay special attention to inner and outer hips as well as hamstrings to give you a feeling of both freedom and feeling rooted in the present moment.

An embodied practice of staying grounded and staying open, loving kindness as resistance. Think heart openers, but the grounded type with emphasis on not just stretching the spaces that surround our hearts but also tending to other muscles that shut down in freeze, fight or flight.

May you feel ...

This class celebrates the ripening of the fruits of our practice.

It is a legs and hip-centric practice, often considered to represent our roots.

As we move through this practice, we’ll begin to feel the embodied wisdom drawn from those roots ripening in our hearts and minds.

The older I get, the more obsessed I get with ankle and shoulder mobility!

Poor ankle mobility makes it impossible to use our leg muscles optimally and the same goes for shoulder mobility and upper body muscles.

This practice aims to support mobility in your ankles, shoulders and your spine to ...

I'm not a fan of pretending we always experience love and light! Our shadow side is an amazing teacher, if we learn how to work with it skillfully. In this case, anger is something we all experience from time to time and a natural part of being human. When we try to suppress it, deny it or hide i...

This practice emphasizes our roots – physically speaking, that’s our legs and hips. Emotionally and energetically speaking, our roots are our ancestors, our history, the stories that have made up our lives so far.

I named this practice Treasure as a way to honor where we’ve come from and the wis...

In today's Satsang we explore that friction some of us are experiencing between engaging in our own joy while others are sufferings, our privilege and joy as resistance.

This liberating practice starts slow and grounded before evolving into a dynamic flow with twists to stir things up inside, then gives way into shoulder, chest and hip flexor stretches that leave your heart feeling open and your body-mind feeling strong and free!

According to Hindu mythology, the universe itself is a divine play—Lila—not a punishment or a test, but a creative unfolding. This meditation isn’t about escaping reality. It’s about reconnecting to the part of ourselves that remembers how to wonder. To imagine. To feel. Even, and especially, in ...
