Join The MSY Sangha "Yoga Community"!

Sangha is a Sanskrit term meaning "community or gathering" - a group of individuals who come together with shared intentions. A Sangha provides mutual support, collective wisdom and creates a safe space for friends to grow, learn and connect. The collective energy of a group working together builds a foundation of support and guidance. Being part of a Sangha may also improve brain health.

"Staying socially active as you age provides several important benefits for brain health, including reducing the risk of depression and delaying the onset of dementia. Because being socially active requires that you plan, participate, and be attentive and alert, it qualifies as mental exercise, helping build healthy brain cells and the connections between them. " an excerpt from the book, Yoga For Healthy Aging, by Baxter Bell, MD & Nina Zolotow

Meditation and Mindfulness!

Presence in Everyday Life:

A Contemplative Practice Workshop

offered by Jan Hummer (bio)

Saturday, June 6, 2026

2:00-4:00pm

Cost $35

Location: MSY Garden Studio

Register Here!



This gentle two (2) hour follow-up to the Foundations of Mindfulness workshop is designed for anyone longing to bring more presence, steadiness, and awareness into daily life. Together we will explore simple contemplative practices that support grounding, reflection, and connection through breath awareness, mindful pauses, gentle movement, and guided discussion. A simple meditation practice will be offered that participants can comfortably continue at home, whether they are new to meditation or returning to practice after time away.

This workshop is less about "doing mindfulness perfectly" and more about learning how to meet ordinary moments with greater care and attention. Participants will leave with accessible tools for daily practice, including ways to regulate stress, create moments of stillness throughout the day, deepen awareness of the body and breath, and cultivate a more compassionate relationship with themselves and the world around them.

Highlights from Foundations of Mindfulness Workshop held in September 2025

"Summertime in your soul is a time of great balance. You are in the flow of your own nature." John O'Donohue

Join Amanda for a special 90-minute yoga practice to cultivate heart-centered balance and inspiration in your life. The workshop will begin with a grounding meditation to invite inward awareness, preparing your heart for practice. You'll then be guided through gentle yoga movements to stretch, strengthen and balance your physical body. The practice will then shift into an immersive sound bath experience, as you ease into a state of supported rest. You will enjoy a soundscape of English horn, Tibetan and Crystal singing bowls, Koshi chimes, rainsticks and other resonant instruments.

Come to deepen your connection to yourself...and emerge with the essence of summertime in your spirit.
