I've been taking Kundalini Yoga from Jen since I arrived here in Jamestown. I have benefitted…read moregreatly - physically and spiritually. I feel more balanced, as I know that the combination of the exercises, gong baths, and meditation is a full-circle healing and an amazing method for centering and grounding. At first I was going once a week, because it is a "class", but now, I feel like the practices are more integrated into my state of presence - my state of being. I always look forward to class and am now doing some of the practices at home. I think it is wonderful that Jen has brought this teaching and practice to Jamestown!

I finally found a wonderful meditative yoga practice in Buffalo...and it turned out to be only a…read morefew blocks away from my apartment! I've heard about the Himalayan Institute for a while, but finally took the plunge and signed up for a 6-week long class series of their "Level II" yoga classes last night. The Himalayan Institute is a wonderful 501(3)c non-profit that offers yoga classes, workshops, lectures, etc inside their elegant mansion on Delaware Ave. When you stop in, you feel like you're inside a cozy home. There's a place to take off your shoes and an immediate bookstore to your left. Further down, there's the main living room where classes take place. It helps to take a class that has 10-12 people and not too much more as the room can get pretty crowded with 16+ people or so I hear. Here's what stands out about the Himalayan Institute: their yoga classes generally center around a meditation-practice. As a result, I feel incredibly relaxed and focused afterward. As opposed to some classes (such as Evolation), where I sweat like I'm inside some Finnish bathhouse and leave the class with more of an exercise high. With most classes, you have to sign up for a full 6-week commitment (usually $80), although they do offer drop-in classes on Thursdays from 5:30-6:30pm for beginners ($5) and on Saturdays (9:30-11am) for a more intermediate ($10) practice. In summary, I adore their meditative approach, yoga teachers as well as the novelty of practicing yoga inside a cozy old mansion. Unfortunately, there are no accessible showers in the facility, but there is a bathroom where you can change.

Looking to work on your self-awareness and the art of reflection? This meditation practice hits…read morethat spirituality spot in your soul. No stop that runaway imagination of yours! :) It's not a place where you will get indoctrinated into a religious group or be subject to a cult like environment. The meditation group meets Thursdays at 7 pm and is currently running their practice once a week at the Jung Center. The sitting meditation is led by a trained group lead who guides the participants through 2 sessions of 30 minute sessions where the participant sits in a meditation pose and concentrates on a focal point and focus on gentle breathing. There is an intermission of 10 minutes where the group walks to improves circulation before sitting for the second sitting session. The evening is closed with a selected 4 minute passage from a book on meditation, mindfulness or Buddhist theme and followed by tea and light socialization for anyone wishing to linger and enjoy company. Every now and then there are workshops that are organized. This is a very welcoming group and I thank Jenny for her warm introduction. This group is a mixed bag of demographics: young 20's to 60's and different religious affiliations. You do not need to be Buddhist to participate in drop in sitting meditation; you just need an open-mind and a desire to improve your mindfulness and ultimately quality of life. You should plan on arriving 15 minutes early to receive an introduction to sitting poses and breathing technique if you are visiting for the first time. Second Sunday- morning, they offer a longer session of meditation (Nyinthun) to deepen our practice. Third Thursday - After the regular one hour of sitting and walking meditation, a DVD or audio dharma talk is offered by one of the Shambhala teachers.
