January Daily Meditation Challenge

to Jan 31

January Daily Meditation Challenge

Meditation. It’s the single most crucial thing you can do for your well-being, and yet, most of us put it off. No longer! Challenge yourself to show up and sit with me every morning for the month of January, with the encouragement and accountability of being part of a group, and the convenience of being online. Our daily 30-minute zoom sessions will be recorded and sent to you so you can keep the meditations and/or practice on your own schedule. Each online session will include 15-20 minutes of yoga stretches followed by a 10-15 minute meditation - except for Saturdays, which will be hourlong sessions to incorporate more movement. This will be a fun, lighthearted approach which will include daily body-shaking (you’ll love it!) as well as a new meditation every three days, creating a sampler of practices for you to learn what works best for you and your monkey mind.

Yes, it’s a big commitment, and yes, it brings big rewards:

  • Take control of your thoughts- and your life!

  • Build an island of calm for yourself

  • Generate good ideas

  • Become less reactive

  • Hear your own wisdom

  • Understand your mental patterns

  • Feel deep peace

  • Learn what no one else can teach

We’ll go the full month of January, at 8 am EST on weekdays and Saturdays, and 9 am EST on Sundays (including the initial session on 1/1.) To join, it’s $310 for the month - only $10/day, including the video you keep. (Payment plans are available if you need to spread out payments) Note that I will be privately asking participants what you need from the course so I can include meditations that best suit you, and will be available for questions/support. Try getting that from YouTube!

Just added: you can join us for the first week of January for $90 and see how you like it. If you then want to continue, you can just pay the remainder for the rest of the month.

Your practice is waiting for you. This is the year that you become a meditator.

Self Care Saturday: Yoga Nidra (Psychic Sleep)

Yoga Nidra - psychic sleep - is my GO-TO meditation for falling back asleep in the middle of the night. It works wonders! But this magic meditation is primarily used to help you stick to your intention by seeding it in your subconscious. Learn how to hypnotize yourself during this "Self-Care Saturday" workshop over Zoom. We’ll start with some wake-up movements, discuss crafting an intention, and then do the guided meditation LYING DOWN. The workshop fee of $24 includes a recording of the meditation portion of the Zoom call as well as 2 bonus voice files.

**Included in the New Year's Yoga Challenge package. If you aren’t joining for that, you can sign up for this event on its own by clicking below.

Mid-Summer Mindfulness Retreat
Jul
9
10:00 AM10:00

Mid-Summer Mindfulness Retreat

“You can use your mind, to change your brain, to change your mind.” 

- Rick Hanson, Meditator + Neuropsychologist

Change your mind on this tranquil, informative retreat with visiting mindfulness meditation teacher Gena Adams-Riley and Miss Amanda.  Together, we will be guiding you through a day of yoga, hiking, mindfulness meditation, discussion, and a fantastic communal lunch. We will practice mindfulness in various settings: not only on the cushion, but in the woods, on the mat, and even in the hot tub!  

Gena is eager to share her knowledge of Contemplative Neuroscience, research-based science which clearly demonstrates that mindfulness practices such as yoga and mindfulness meditation have positive, profound, and scientifically-measurable effects on the brain.  These changes in your brain contribute to a happy, healthy, long life.  Learn to do these practices with Gena, a mindfulness mediation teacher with almost 20 years of experience. 

Our day will begin at the Camp Plymouth State Park in Ludlow, VT with a special Yoga Hike, an invigorating moving meditation led by Miss Amanda that uses the natural features of the forest to support our yoga poses and focus our mindful attention.  We’ll then reward ourselves with a gourmet vegetarian lunch at Good Commons, a sweet, homey retreat center dedicated to the mission of providing calm, healing space.  Afterward, Gena will lead a discussion on Contemplative Neuroscience and practice of seated mindfulness meditation.    

Our retreat will continue with a soak in the Good Commons hot tub, and we'll finish the day with the practice of yoga nidra, or "psychic sleep," a guided meditation that will relax the body so that you can seed positive affirmations into your subconscious mind.  

Ready to make positive change?  Your investment in this all-inclusive event is $110, and if you bring a friend, each of you will receive a $10 discount.  Please preregister by contacting Miss Amanda at this link.

Savoring Summer: A Daylong Retreat into Mindfulness and Yoga

Don't let summer rush by - slow down with us and notice each wonderful, warm summer moment of the glory that is Vermont in midsummer.  Experienced yoga teacher “Miss Amanda” Anderson and visiting mindfulness meditation teacher Gena Adams-Riley will be guiding you through a day of yoga, hiking, mindfulness meditation, discussion, and a fantastic communal lunch. We will practice mindfulness in various settings: not only on the cushion, but in the woods, on the mat, and even in the hot tub!  

We’ll begin our day at the Camp Plymouth State Park in Ludlow, VT with a Yoga Hike, an invigorating moving meditation led by Miss Amanda where we use the natural features of the forest to support our yoga poses.  We’ll then reward ourselves with a gourmet vegetarian lunch at Good Commons, a sweet, homey retreat center dedicated to the mission of providing calm, healing space.  Afterward, we’ll connect with each other with a discussion on maintaining mindfulness in our daily lives.  With 18 years of meditation practice and a thriving meditation-teaching business, Gena has much wisdom to share from her experience.

We’ll continue retreating through the afternoon: first with a guided meditation by Gena, followed by a soak in the brand-new Good Commons hot tub, and culminating in a deeply-restorative yoga class led by Miss Amanda.  

Invest in yourself and slow down summer for this day that you will not soon forget.  Your investment in this all-inclusive event is $110, and if you bring a friend, each of you will receive a $10 discount.  Please preregister by contacting Miss Amanda at amanda@innerliftyoga.com
