YOGA AND MEDITATION OPPORTUNITIES

DROP IN FOR ONE FREE SESSION. Mats, Mexican blankets, blocks and straps are available for use.  Sessions are appropriate for beginner and intermediate students and use mixed style Hatha Yoga. Classes begin with breathing and “focusing” techniques as a window to experience the Divine. Students are encouraged to continue these throughout the practice and meditation as they integrate spirituality with postures, flexibility and stretching. The most active portion of the practice, in LEVEL I sessions, includes The Sun Salutation series, the Asanas (postures) being joined by Vinyasa (flow). But, BEGINNERS also full participate by keeping to beginner postures throughout the sessions.Each class concludes with a guided affirmation-meditation (Savasana) that explores, listens to, and empowers you to use heart-centered messages to create a life aligned with God. My wise teacher Rene’ Graney says, “Yoga gives us an opportunity to hear the wisdom of our body, find the stillness of our mind, and create a happier way of being.” –Drop-in for one free session and experience this unique practice for yourself to decide if it is for you. Tricia’s life is blessed by her meditation practice practice with yoga and and by those who join her daily. For more information see “Spiritworks Workshops and Events” or e-mail Tricia, pdbrown@spiritworks.org.

Meditation and Affirmations for Life and Weight Control

To register for up-coming classes in the Pittsburgh area e-mail Tricia a note about your interest.  pdbrown@spiritworks . The next orientation sessions soon, so plan now to get on board for a healthier spirit: body, mind and relationships.

Spiritworks does not advocate dieting but instead we help you into a healthier and wholistic lifestyle that leads to effective sustainable weight loss. This program is not about fitting into a size 8 or 10 but about living a full, high-quality life. Your outside will begin to reflect the spirit that is awaking within.

In your weekly small group you will be encouraged to look at all aspects of your life and to create a life that honors you. Over time, the weight will just have fewer and fewer reasons to exist. You simply won’t need it anymore. Imagine a healthy body that supports an active lifestyle. You can change your mind, heart, and behaviors!

Go to the Spiritworks schedule for the next beginning class or e-mail me at pdbrown@spiritworks.org with your questions and inquires.

Individual Spiritual Direction

What Is Spiritual Direction?

Spiritual Direction is the process of accompanying people on a spiritual journey. Spiritual direction helps people tell their sacred stories and to grow closer to God. Spiritual direction invites a deeper relationship with the spiritual aspect of being human. Spiritual direction is not psychotherapy or counseling.

Choosing a spiritual director or a spiritual guide is a very individual process. Therefore you’ll want to meet with Tricia on a one-on-one basis to decide if spiritual guidance is for you

Contact Spiritworks for more information and to make an appointment.
