Warrior of Justice: Celebrating the Life of Michael Maggio (...
Where: Tranquil Space
Date: 2008-03-23 19:00:00
Type:
we invite you to join danielle and friends in celebrating the life of a true warrior. michael maggio, 60, a well-known immigration lawyer and tireless warrior for justice, left this world far too prematurely, on february 10, of non-hodgkin’s lymphoma. to commemorate michael’s tireless efforts and incredible energy as an advocate for justice, we’ll combine postures designed to flush and stimulate the body’s energetic pathways, together with yoga nidra and meditation. specifically, our practice will utilize long held, passive floor postures to decongest connective tissue and fascia around the hips, pelvis, lower back and knees. these “yin” postures help the body remain supple at its core while encouraging stagnant ch’i (prana) to flow through the body’s “energetic highways,” or meridians, thus enhancing the health of the joints and organs. we’ll then transition into the practice of yoga nidra, or “yogic sleep,”—a technique in which one leaves the waking state, moves past the dreaming state, and enters into the deep sleep state, while remaining fully awake and alert. the state of awareness cultivated during this practice is extremely beneficial, both for releasing stress, and for experiencing the joy of subtler spiritual explorations or experiences. we’ll conclude our practice by sharing the silence of a brief seated meditation. no previous yoga experience necessary. to read more about michael, see: http://www.michaelamaggio.blogspot.com and washington post . suggested donation of $20 – participants can choose to make their donation checks out to either immigrant’s list or IDENTITY . to RSVP, you may make an unpaid reservation online or by calling the studio at 202.223.9642.
