October 2 – 4, the Telluride Yoga Center, The Peaks Resort & Spa and Lorrie Denesik welcome yogini/healer/transformational teacher Karen Korona to town for an three-day intensive designed to enhance self-awareness and healing through yoga practices, including meditation.

Do you think sitting quietly for at least 10 – 20 minutes a day examining your thoughts as if they were butterflies is vintage Elizabeth Gilbert (“Eat, Pray, Love”)? If so, you might want to, well, examine your thoughts.

One definition of yoga is mastering the field of attention. Meditation is the way, the payoff, of countless hours of asana (poses) originally designed to build strength and stamina to – guess – sit in meditation.

Scientists today have discovered what yogis knew 4,000 years ago: meditation helps the brain process information more efficiently, enhancing its capacity for perception, awareness, and efficiency. A Massachusetts General Hospital Study found long term meditators have thicker insula, the part of the brain linking the emotional to thinking center. Meditators appear to be able to control their internal responses, psychological, and physical, to external stimulii more effectively than non-meditators, thereby quieting the noise in their heads from the inputs of the natural world.

Karen Korona, MS, has taught Hatha and Kundalini Yoga in the Denver Metro area for over 25 years, having studied yoga, meditation and holistic healing with master teachers from around the world.
