Thanks in part to Miv London, LRY instructor and Meditation Program Coordinator, there has never been a better time to begin a meditation practice with Laughing River Yoga.
In an effort to expand access to mindfulness and meditation practices within our studio community and beyond, Miv has helped us develop a robust list of programming and offerings for first-timers and seasoned meditators alike:
- Freely offered Morning Meditations for the Month of March
- Donation-based Weekly Meditation & Book Group, "Meditation & Conversation."
- Donation-based half-day Meditation Retreats offered 3x per year, with our next coming up on February 26th!
- Freely offered guided meditations in our Library.
See below for more freely offered online resources, courtesy of Miv!

Finally, Miv would like to share one of the fruits of the Meditation and Conversation group. They've recently taken up a practice of sharing poetry in the session following the completion of a book. We've compiled some of the poems into a document called “Poetry for Awakening”, which we will continue to add to as we collect more poems.
In Golf Orbit, players need to be able to control the ball very precisely and also think strategically in order to get through the courses that are full of obstacles. To get high scores, you need to be skilled and plan ahead for each level's tasks, which look easy at first glance. Because of this, the game is very hard and addicting, and players always want to come back to improve their skills and beat the tough challenges whenever they fail.
