At the end of each year, CRS Founder Yasuko Kasaki offers a FREE one-hour Guided Meditation, drawing on the principles of A Course in Miracles, so that we can all begin the new year with a clear mind. This year she’ll also lead everyone through an introductory exercise in spiritual reading so that each of you may come away with some inspirational message from your inner teacher. The meditation will last about an hour and will be followed by a short yoga class, led by CRS Yoga Instructor Hazuki Homma. You are welcome to attend either or both as long as there is room.
It’s usually standing-room only so you’ll want to arrive a few minutes early. No previous experience with meditation or yoga is necessary.

The yoga class will draw on gentle breathing exercises and beginner level asanas to get us moving again and bring our mental presence of mind into our awareness of our bodies. The class will be more physical than in past years but still simple enough for people of any experience level with yoga…and while clothing you can move well in will be more comfortable, if you are wearing festive attire you should still be able to adapt. Yoga mats will be provided.
