Pain-Free Meditation
In this "Mini-Retreat" we will show you the few simple things you can do to move into effortless sitting posture.
Sunday, September 11th, 10-12pm
A "Mini-Retreat"
On Sunday, September 11th, our guest teacher, Chris Moffett, Ph.D., will show you how he went from numbing leg pain when he sat as a beginning meditator, to being able to stand up easily after meditating, even more spry than when he started. (Hint: it wasn't by learning to detach from the pain...)
Plus, you’ll learn several very common misconceptions that stand in the way of even seasoned meditators, and can totally derail beginners. Then he'll show you what you can do instead to have an effortless sitting practice that you love coming back to.
The strategies Chris will show you work for anyone. It doesn’t matter if you don’t think of yourself as a meditator or if you have given up on sitting cross-legged and sit in a chair. We won’t be talking about bending into pretzels and "mind over matter." Or sitting longer than is easy...
Chris Moffett, Ph.D.
Guest Teacher
Chris went from his legs falling asleep, to teaching the principles he learned about balanced posture. Based on the Feldenkrais Method, he has taught to countless students at institutes from Harvard and Columbia University, to the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Instead of just pushing through, you’ll learn:
- The simple strategy for dialing in your ideal cushion height.
- the best positions, and how to take advantage of them.
- What to do if your knees are up in the air, (and what to do if they are cranking into the floor too...)
- How to coordinate your lower back and knees so that you can always find an effortless balanced position.
- Plus, because this is a live retreat, you will get hands on feedback, and the opportunity to ask all the questions you never got to ask!
This Kokoro Mini-Retreat is called “Pain Free Meditation” and it will be from 10am-Noon on Sunday, September 11th. The cost is $35.
Space is limited to 15 participants.
That's it! See you soon!
