Meditation: Sitting in the quiet, returning to ease in the body and ease in the breathing. You are welcome to sit on the floor, in a chair, or lie down. There’s nothing to achieve or attain.

Sharing: At the end of practice, there is time to share reflections, feelings, and questions and hear what others have to share. It's ok to just listen, too.

Indy Community Yoga is a worker-run nonprofit cooperative that leads accessible movement, silent meditation, and mindful dialogue practices, all 100% free for 100% of people. Learn more at indycommunityyoga.org
