Morning Yoga & Meditation
7 a.m. – 8 a.m. | Kennedy/Jefferson Room (3rd Floor)
Join Dr. Jamie Marich, EMDR practitioner, trainer, author, registered yoga teacher, and developer of the Dancing Mindfulness practice for this morning yoga and meditation practice. No mat is required (you may bring one if you happen to have one with you), but you may feel more comfortable at least having a pillow from your room. All poses, movements, and practices can be done from chairs. This is a come-as-you-are class, as many variations will be given to adjust your movements and poses to meet your needs on this conference morning. Come and set your intention for the day and tap into your entire body-mind complex. Like with EMDR therapy, the focus of this class will be on just noticing and not making any judgments, instead, noticing what will be revealed.
