Metta bhavana, or loving kindness meditation, is derived from Buddhist tradition. It is a meditation of care, tenderness, and friendship that focuses on a feeling of warmth for oneself and others. Hatha yoga, the most popular form of yoga practiced in the West, focuses on asanas (physical postures) and is widely seen as a form of exercise greatly beneficial to the health of the mind, body, and spirit.
Designed to reduce stress and encourage a greater sense of peaceful well-being, this series of gentle classes is open to all. Please bring a yoga mat if you have one.
Frog Lotus Yoga is located in North Adams, Massachusetts. Experienced, trained instructors teach several forms of yoga and Pilates in a large, sunlit studio. Frog Lotus offers 200-hour Yoga Alliance Approved Yoga Teacher Trainings Intensives, both at the studio and in exotic locations.
