At sunset on most days, AmaTierra guests gather on comfortable cushions for a meditation session in our beautiful yoga studio. The meditation we practice is usually guided for a few minutes (visualization or a suggestion for something on which to focus), and then we are silent, sitting or reclining for about 20 minutes.
Our meditation is loosely based on an ancient Buddhist form called Vipassana which means “clear vision”; However, there is nothing religious or ritualistic in how we practice. Mindfulness meditation, the most commonly practiced Vipassana technique, is designed to help you let go of constant thinking and worldly worries in order to find stillness and deep understanding, to better get to know what some people call the “True Self”.
Mindful Meditation is simply a practice of heightening our awareness of the here and now, taking time out to observe what is happening in our bodies, and in our minds. When we attune our minds to being in a state of constant awareness, we can learn a great deal about how our minds and bodies work.
Practicing yoga is about more than being fit—it's about tuning in to your true self, getting still, being fully present in your moments and breathing into all corners of your Being with focus and intention.
AmaTierra's commitment to gentle Hatha yoga honors the traditional roots of yoga's ancient history, offering a strong foundation for your physical yoga practice, grounded in a spiritual tradition that has stood the test of time—a few thousand years, at least!
Jill's method of teaching is closely aligned with one of her teachers, Jean-Pierre Marques from North Africa who was a pioneer in bringing Eastern traditions to the US in 1971, and who later initiated the Spiritual Awareness Center at Canyon Ranch Spa in Tucson, Arizona .
