Living with Intention
Drishti: Finding Focus Through Meditation, Journaling, and Yoga
Join us for a transformative experience where meditation, journaling, and yoga come together under the guiding theme of Drishti. In yoga, Drishti refers to a focused gaze, a single point of concentration that helps steady the mind and body during a pose. This ancient practice teaches us the power of focus and intention, not just on the mat but in every aspect of our lives.
During this event, we will explore how the concept of Drishti can be applied beyond yoga. Just as a steady gaze can help you maintain balance in a challenging pose, a clear focus can guide you through the complexities of daily life. Through guided meditation, we'll calm the mind and bring awareness to where our attention naturally flows. In our journaling session, we'll reflect on the areas of our lives that need more focus and clarity. Finally, our yoga practice will help us physically embody Drishti, grounding our experience in the present moment.
This event is an invitation to cultivate a mindful and focused life. By aligning your gaze on and off the mat, you can learn to navigate challenges with a sense of calm and purpose. Whether you're looking to deepen your yoga practice, enhance your meditation routine, or find clarity through journaling, this event is designed to help you find your Drishti in all aspects of life.
