Hi Everybody,

Learn Neelakantha meditation as taught in Blue Throat Yoga with Preston Whaley Jr. Neelakantha Meditation is a practical, easy to do, deep meditation practice that works in harmony with how the mind functions. It’s not based on controlling your thoughts, visualization or mood making. It’s about naturally and easily pivoting attention into the silence within for a comparatively few minutes everyday. Neelakantha Meditation offers many benefits but the overall effect, over time, is to move the person into a elevated state of connection, functionality, and fulfillment in life.

Our next course takes place Saturday, September 27, 11:30 am - 1 pm and Sunday, September 28, 10 am - 12 pm. Send me a message.. I'm happy to answer by email or phone.

I will hold a free “What is Neelakantha Meditation” talk September 15, 6-7 pm at Yoga Arts Studio. Bring a friend.

With Thanks, Preston

HI Friends,

The majority of my work over recent years has been to work with private clients. And I have recently expanded into teaching a deep meditation practice. I also teach a few yoga classes because I value the interaction, camaraderie and the challenge of helping every participant feel they benefitted from what was offered and that the experience was worthwhile.

I have a few spots open in Saturday’s yoga class at Yoga Arts Studio, 9:30 - 10:30 am, and I am inviting you to drop in. The class is appropriate for all levels and emphasizes sound fundamentals of practice to enhance flexibility, muscle tone, balance and breathing.

Drop in rate is $20. There are limited spaces so please DM me for a spot.

This year I have enjoyed the privilege of teaching Neelakantha Meditation, as taught in Blue Throat Yoga, to small groups of you in my studio at Yoga Arts. I’m very happy to be offering the practice again soon.

Neelakantha Meditation is an elegant, powerful and deeply effective meditation practice for exploring and progressively journeying into the deeper spaces of Consciousness. It is a practice that brings about transformation, healing and goodness in your life.

Neelakantha Meditation is easy to learn and practice, and is governed by the principle of effortlessness. It does not involve concentration, controlling the mind, or manipulation of awareness. It does not require that you have any particular beliefs, previous study or specific background in order to learn. Even folks who have had difficulty meditationg in the past are surprised at how easily and deeply they can meditate after learning Neelankantha Meditation.

Dates:
I’m offering a free, introductory talk on the practice June 16, 6-7 pm at Yoga Arts studio. All are welcome. Bring a friend.
