Dracut Health Department hosts Living My Dream Yoga

Participants will practice one of the following types of concentrative type of meditation which may include Mantra Meditation (repetition of a specific phrase), Mudra Meditation (a particular shape of hands, fingers, arms), Breath Meditation, or a Metta (Loving Kindness) Meditation. Class will begin with a settling-in practice with breath work, followed by a few gentle stretches before settling into a comfortable seat (or in a lying down position if a yoga mat is brought). Connolly will then offer a guided meditation followed by 8-10 minutes of stillness. The class will end with an integration practice that may include silent journaling or a poetry reading. Registrants are encouraged to bring their own yoga mat, beach towel, blanket, or cushion to sit/lay on.
