How is meditation used during Mindful Revolution’s Yoga classes?

A guided meditation will be used during the class in three different ways.

At the beginning of yoga class your instructor will ask you to ‘set an intent’ for the entire class. This intent may be a short statement (“I am happy,” “I am learning,” “I am relaxed”, etc.) or a longer statement (“I forgive myself for my mistakes today,” “I am letting go of my fear of trying something new,” etc.). This intent will be the focus of your yoga practice for that day.

Throughout class you will also be asked to bring awareness to your breath. Focusing on the breath enables you to focus the mind on the present moment and also enables you to stay relaxed through more strenuous poses.

Lastly, during Savasana (final relaxation), your instructor will guide you through a relaxation meditation that will enable your body to cool down and revitalize you at the end of class.
