Join Rena Urso for two specially curated workshops on Monday, December 13 focusing on meditation and movement exploration through yoga. These events are open only to Oberlin College and Conservatory students.

Yoga Workshop #1: 12:00-1:00 p.m. in Central 21
Yoga Workshop #2: 4:30-5:30 p.m. in Bibbins 233

Dress comfortably and if possible, bring your yoga mat.

About the workshop series:

A favorite quote from Man’s Search for Meaning by Victor Frankl encapsulates meditation perfectly: “Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.”

Some believe that in order to mediate all the conditions around them must be perfect; alone in a silent space without any thoughts to cloud the experience. Meditation isn’t the absence of thoughts, and the notion that everything must be just right, or completely silent to practice, is false. 

In the Yoga Workshops, you will discover how to blend the practice of Yin Yoga and Pranayama with Body Mapping, resulting in greater flexibility and ease in all that you do.
