This practice is good for those who have trouble relaxing. This video provides a guided savasana, a meditation taken lying down, relaxing the entire body by methodically engaging and releasing each part. This technique brings the practitioner into a deeper and more conscious relaxation and can be particularly helpful for those who have trouble “just letting go”. Once the video is complete, feel free to stay in your savasana as long as you like and explore other meditation techniques while lying down.

This practice is good for those who store tension in the shoulders, neck and jaw, or who have communication issues. This video will demonstrate how to practice a shoulder releasing technique affectionately known as “empty coat sleeves” as well as a pranayama technique called Lion’s Breath to open the throat. This meditation helps to ease tension in the upper back, shoulders, neck, jaw and tongue. Also, practitioners can help to resolve communication issues by noticing if the area feels strained, overworked or stiff. Making this meditation a part of your daily practice can give you a lot of insight into your fifth chakra – your communication center.

Naked Meditation in Motion 3: Breath of Joy & Laughing Yoga!

This practice is good for those who experience depression.
This video will demonstrate how to practice a pranayama technique known as Breath of Joy and also give a short session of laughing yoga. Both techniques are designed to get the blood flowing and stimulate the third and fourth chakras – our centers of motivation and compassion respectively. Our brains are often thought of as the ultimate control center, but they also respond to feedback from our bodies – mimicking the action of laughter causes our brains to produce the same neurochemicals as it would if we were laughing spontaneously. For this reason, laughing yoga is especially helpful for people dealing with depression. -NYV0064C

Naked Meditation in Motion 1: Walking Meditation!

This practice is good for those who have trouble sitting still. The traditional picture of meditation consists of a practitioner who is seated, silent and still. This, however, is only one of a nearly infinite menagerie of meditation styles available to practice. Newer practitioners, or those who already spend quite a bit of time sitting, may enjoy these more physically engaging meditation styles either as a precursor to seated meditation, or as a practice in and of themselves. This video will demonstrate how to practice walking meditation, encouraging practitioners to bring mindfulness to a commonplace activity that we often take for granted. We begin slowly, guiding the breath and focus until mindfulness is established, and then there is a silent period to practice maintaining that focus. We end in a short seated meditation for contrast. -NYV0064A
