Community Meditation at Village Yoga

Meditation is paying attention. On purpose. To the present moment. Without the filter of judgment, story, good/bad, right or wrong.

A simple concept, but not always easy to practice.

Which is why we created the Community Meditation class.

A guided experience for you to learn and practice different styles of meditation in a warm, welcoming, supportive group setting.

Community meditation is designed to create a ripple effect within our actual community. To foster a sense of presence, belonging, compassion and understanding as we move through our days in this place we call home.

Community meditation is offered as an act of service. You can come for free or make a donation when you sign up.

Donations collected in 2023 will be passed along to our first community meditation partner, the Columbia County Recovery Kitchen.

Everyone is welcome in Community Meditation.

All ages, experiences, and abilities. Bring your friends, your kids, your parents, your people. We have chairs available and a variety of props, cushions, and blankets to help you find your most comfortable seat.

Let's sit together.

Meet Greater Hudson Promise.

Our new Donation Partner for Community Meditation.

The Greater Hudson Promise Neighborhood is a place-based, cradle to career organization located in the City of Hudson, NY modeled after the highly successful Harlem Children’s Zone. We strive to build an equitable community by providing opportunities and support to individuals and families impacted by systemic oppression and failures. In 2011, GHPN was selected as one of fifteen communities in the United States to be awarded a Promise Neighborhood Planning grant through the U.S. Department of Education and has since incorporated as a 501(c)(3) with the goal of building a seamless pipeline of opportunities and supports to the children, families and broader community in Hudson and beyond. 

Greater Hudson Promise Neighborhood utilizes a values-driven approach to create a pipeline of support for children and families from cradle through career. We believe that with adequate resources and relationships rooted in our core values, every individual in our community can be given the support needed to grow, learn, and thrive.

The Greater Hudson Promise Neighborhood seeks to address systemic challenges and needs experienced by children and families in our community through a program model that impacts five core areas: legal system reform, direct support and resources, community and collaboration, education and professional development, and individual and systems advocacy.

100% of your Community Meditation donations in Q1 2024 will go directly to Greater Hudson Promise. Let our practice be of service.
