LETTING GO: A Meditative Walk and Chair Yoga Class at Auburn Lake

Join former Artist-in-Residence Lonnie Stanton for a mindful workshop at Auburn Lake. Join former Artist-in-Residence Lonnie Stanton for a meditative walk and chair yoga class at Mount Auburn. This adult workshop is rooted in yoga, initiating movement through intentional breathwork. All bodies are welcome. You will explore the gorgeous natural setting with a warming walk to the lake. As you travel along Indian Ridge, participants will be prompted to mindfully take in the autumn views, allowing the falling foliage to inspire you to: let go. Letting go of what is not serving us and what is out of our control is the goal. As you arrive at the green along Auburn lake, chairs will be set up for a chair yoga class. The chair allows a great view to gaze upon the lake as Lonnie guides participants through this moving meditation. The class will center generous exhales and prompt you to release unnecessary tension in the body and mind. The return walk to the chapel provides opportunity for reflection, considering what small practice could stay with you and remind you to let go. Please note that this workshop will meet at and return to Story Chapel. ... Lonnie has taught chair yoga for 9 years weekly. Throughout their 30s as an active dancer, she has felt the benefits of this gentle practice and feels it is beneficial for many ages and mobilities. A note from Lonnie: "As a past artist in residence who choreographed a dance tour around Auburn Lake, I grew to know this corner of the cemetery quite well. It feels like a second home. I am thrilled for the opportunity to return and share my love of this path with others. Autumn is such a stunning time in New England. I hope for many to join me in taking in the site and allowing yourself some focused time to join the trees in a seasonal release." ...
