Welcome to Moving Into Meditation

Namaste!
Below are three downloadable videos to accompany some of the practices described in my book Moving Into Meditation. I hope they support you on your journey to connect more deeply with your body, heart, and mind. The videos are a labor of love, shot in my home studio in 2014 by my beloved partner Teja Bell (who also wrote the music) and featuring friends who generously demonstrated the sequences.They are excerpted from a 12-hour, self-paced course which offers practices to accompany every chapter in my book. To explore the full course on a donation basis, click the button below (or scroll down to read more about it). To see my current teaching calendar, go to the Teaching tab on this website.

Wishing you joy,
Anne Cushman
