SUMMARY:Exploring Yoga & Buddhism - Where the Mat Meets the Cushion
DESCRIPTION:Cory Bryant has spent over two decades immersed in the practice
 s of yoga and Buddhism\, oscillating between the two until he realized tha
 t they need not be seen as opposing forces. Instead\, these profound tradi
 tions\, rich in history and philosophy\, can harmoniously coexist. For the
  past ten years\, Cory has embraced their integration\, and he is eager to
  share this journey with others during a special weekend workshop.\n\nThis
  engaging workshop invites participants to explore the common ground betwe
 en yoga and Buddhism through lectures\, discussions\, and practice. Drawin
 g from the teachings of renowned figures such as Patanjali\, the Buddha\, 
 and contemporary masters like Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche\, Joseph Goldstein\,
  Richard Freeman\, and Lama Willa Blythe Baker\, Cory will guide attendees
  in discovering the interconnectedness of these practices. The weekend wil
 l also feature guided meditations lasting between three and thirty minutes
 \, allowing ample time for group discussions and mutual support.\nWorkshop
  Schedule:\nSaturday\n1–4 PM: Session 1: Yoga &amp\; Buddhism: Common Gr
 ound\nIn this opening session\, participants will delve into the teachings
  of the Buddha and Patanjali\, emphasizing their shared elements\, includi
 ng their tantric roots. Cory will introduce the principles of tantra and d
 iscuss how these can enhance one's practice. The day will conclude with a 
 30-minute guided meditation focused on open awareness\, interspersed with 
 a 15-minute break.\n\nSunday\n1–4 PM: Session 2: From the Mat to the Cus
 hion\nThe second session will explore the transition from physical practic
 e (asana) to meditation (cushion). Often viewed as separate\, Cory will de
 monstrate how these practices can be integrated to deepen meditation throu
 gh movement. This session may include gentle sun salutations\, so particip
 ants should bring their mats. A 15-minute break will also be included.\n\n
 Meditations will be woven throughout both sessions\, providing valuable op
 portunities for introspection.\n\nContinuing Education Units (CEUs) are av
 ailable upon request.\nWorkshop Details:\n\n 	Location: MLC (Mindful Livin
 g Center)\n 	Cost: Sliding scale from $75 to $150\n 	Cancellation Policy:
