Susy’s First Step

Remember Susy?  You met her last week. She had been depressed for a while and wanted to know where to begin at Veracis.  We suggested she start with OMYO.  This way she could try a variety of classes. She decided to start with a New Member Unlimited Monthly Pass for $99.

Susy  started Sunday morning with  Rise & Shine Hatha Yoga at 9:30 am and OM- Reflective Meditation at 11 am. At first she was nervous and wondered if she would be able to do the yoga and meditation. She wasn’t very flexible and she felt awkward in her body.  Susy wondered what others would think. But this didn’t last long as others in the class of eight welcomed her like she was a long time friend.

After yoga she had a little break.  The yoga classroom was transformed into a meditation room.  She found herself seated in a chair and others started arriving.  She was feeling pretty awesome already and wondered if the meditation might be too much.  Maybe she should have waited…

Her doubt melted away as the reflective meditation class was not like anything she had expected.  The instructor gave clear direction as to what to expect, with detailed topic discussion.  Susy was then guided through a gentle meditation and when she opened her eyes she was surprised to hear 30 minutes had gone by.  Never in her wildest dreams did she think she could ever sit still this long.

From the moment she sat down on her yoga mat to when she opened her eyes seated in the chair meditating, Susy knew she was in the right place for her.   She went home feeling a sense of wonder, focused clarity, and inner peace.  She couldn’t wait to get to her next class…..
