When: Monday, August 23 – Friday August 28, 2009
Where: Esalen Institute, Big Sur, California

During this retreat you’ll delve into the basic principles of mindfulness meditation. Using hatha yoga as a way of connecting more deeply to the body and breath, you will become more aware of yourself in present time. Whether you are pregnant and just beginning on the road to parenthood or are the mother of a teenager, this retreat embodies the spirit of NOW… and a few ways to get (t)here! We spend time in sitting & in walking meditation and practice yoga as a way of being mindful in action. This workshop covers concepts of mindful parenting and introduces tools featured in the book Mindful Motherhood, (New Harbinger Publications 2009) written by Dr. Cassandra Vieten. Jnana designed and authored the hatha yoga series chapter for the book.

This retreat lead by authors & educators Dr. Cassandra (Cassi) Vieten and Jnana Gowan, Certified Yoga Instructor
