About

Sometimes when you start/continue yoga and meditation, it can be hard to know what’s happening. Are you doing it right? What’s it supposed to feel like? Unless you’re in a weekly meditation/yoga class, it can be tricky to understand the territory. Meditation doesn’t feel like anything in particular. It’s a choice, an action, and a process. You’re learning how to focus your mind on one thing and to let go of everything else. That feels different depending on the day, the weather, your mood, and what you ate this morning. Meditation/yoga is about acceptance, about being with what is and not resisting. It is the choice to be OK with everything that’s happening. Your goal is not to react or manipulate your experience in any way. Like a grand old stone through the winter, spring, summer, and fall, you don’t move at all.

For most of us, that’s challenging. What’s more, it’s hard to remember that meditation/yoga shouldn’t feel one way or another—we like targets: a purpose, a direction, a bullseye. We want something concrete in the cross-hairs of our intention. But meditation and yoga is different. You’re training your attention to let go of things, learning how to renounce everything and be still. In that stillness, you’ll discover why meditation/yoga is a miracle.

I love watching others realize their peace through yoga, meditation, and coaching. You can experience incredible states of relaxation when you meditate. All your cares, concerns, conundrums, old festering resentments, and wounds melt away. Life is good and smooth like a sunny tropical day at the crystalline blue lagoon. There’s really nothing to worry about. This is a wonderful experience. Just remember, it comes and goes like the wind. Enjoy it, but don’t get attached. Bliss is common in meditation and yoga. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a rich spring of energy wells up from within like a geyser. Your body is flooded with ecstasy and an intoxicating sense of the goodness and beauty of life. You’re kind of out of your mind (no pun intended). It’s amazing when you find yourself swimming in awestruck wonder at life and your own existence. This can happen in meditation and yoga like nowhere else. You could be sitting in the back of a fish house, and you’ll still be overwhelmed by the miracle of it all. Somehow, you perceive the magnificent order in things. It all makes sense. There’s no friction anywhere in the system. It’s truly awesome and you’re the luckiest person in the world to be right in the middle of it all, right NOW, savoring each moment with every ounce of your being. Genuine stillness is one of the most dazzling meditation experiences. When you grow very still, it’s like you disappear. It’s such a beautiful and delicate place. It’s also mysterious. You’re senses expand to include everything. You become permeable to the world; there’s no longer a sense of inner or outer. There’s just one thing happening. More than anything, you don’t want to disturb this delicate place. You just want to dissolve into that oneness more and more. Just starting out on your meditation journey?

    Ritual yoga is a great place to start your yoga practice or to take it to the next level. We are a small, diverse group of people who all come together to share our practice. There are no fees to come practice at Ritual yoga, because everything is donation based. Johnnie and Marnette donate their time and expertise and would much rather that you make it to your mat and just show up for practice than to ever feel obligated to pay what you would for a drop in at another yoga studio.
