Hello! Tony here. My pronouns are he/him. I’m the practice leader for CommuniTEA Yoga + Meditation at Tea’s Me Community Cafe at Tarkington Park. I’ve been leading yoga and meditation practices here in Indianapolis since 2013 and have a daily meditation practice slightly older than that.

Yoga 8:00 – 8:30am: You can expect yoga to be at a relaxed pace with space to breathe and practice your way. I tend to mix in a little bit of qi gong, too. A few mats are available for you to borrow, but please bring your own if you have one.

Meditation 8:30 – 8:50am: Our meditation practice is quiet, continually returning to ease in the body and ease in the breathing. In my experience, this is how the mud settles in the stream and I can see more clearly with the whole picture in focus. You are welcome to practice your Way as long as you help maintain a quiet practice space for the group. You are welcome to sit on the floor, in a chair, or lay down.

Sharing and Discussion 8:50 – 9:00am-ish: Share any questions, reflections, and observations and hear what others have to share. It’s ok to just listen, too.

Safety

If you have any symptoms of contagious illness (e.g. coughing, fever, runny nose, body aches, malaise, etc.), please stay home and recover. Thank you for caring for your health and the well-being of people attending practice.
