meditation

part of our mission at east side yoga is to encourage and facilitate a meditation practice for our community, daily meditation will enable the yoga practitioner to make the most from all their efforts on and off the mat. yoga is the great journey, from the gross to the subtle, taking you from a unfocused mind to one of quietness and tranquility. this quietness allows us to discover our inner spirituality and true nature.
