Description
Bring more awareness into your Pilates practice and into your life with Meditation. Bobbee Kelner brings her years of experience with Pilates, Yoga and Meditation together in this 10 minute guided meditation. Stay for just a minute or let the short video be the beginning of a longer sit. If you are new to meditation and want to know more, stay tuned to watch her discussion with Kristi where they speak about what Meditation is and how it can facilitate a deeper Pilates practice.
In this two part interview Bobbee Kellner, Pilates practitioner, yogi and meditation teacher discusses meditation with Kristi Cooper White (a novice to meditation). Bobbee answers questions like: What is meditation? Is there a right way to meditate? How long should one meditate? and what is the best technique when starting a meditation practice?
In Chapter two, Bobbee speaks to the question of how Pilates and meditation relate to each other specifically and how one can serve the other to connect us to the trinity of body, mind and spirit that Joseph Pilates wrote about in Return to Life
"If you can at least acknowledge what you're thinking about and what you're doing, then that's meditation."

Ana, it really just takes a few minutes a day and makes such a big difference in your daily interactions with yourself and other people. I hope you find the same as you practice.

lovely, simple, effortless meditation. Very achievable. Thank you PA (especially Kristi and Bobbee) for including this on your site...Joe is probably smiling down on us now, for finally getting it...it's not for nothing that he wrote about "mind, body and spirit"

This was fantastic. I need need need to make this a practice for myself. I'm always challenging my body to move so this was a very timely invitation to slow down, breath and to just be. Thank you so much:)

Wonderful interview. :) Just a clarification about Transcendental Meditation (I am both a Pilates teacher and a TM Teacher :) ~ TM is a very simple, natural, effortless technique that gives the body and mind deep rest, releases daily and accumulated stress and brings greater alertness and balance to the body/mind. It's easy to do and very effective. Meditation in general (all kinds) is beneficial ~ I recommend to explore and find a way to have some time for yourself to quiet the mind and body and see how refreshed you feel :)

Thank you for weighing in on TM for us Evie. I'd love to know more. What do you think is the best way for a beginner to find time to quiet the mind and body?

:) I think a good way to begin to quiet the mind and body is with the breathing (pranayama) - there are many different variations, but one simple way is to (close the eyes) close the right nostril, breath in with the left nostril, close the left, exhale out the right. Then inhale into the right, close the right, exhale out the left. Do this for 3-5 minutes and see how calming it is. If you have time, do a little Yoga (Sun Salute is good) or just some easy movement such as Standing Roll Down, Pelvic Curls, Side stretches, Swan, Rest Position. Then do the pranayama. :) Hope that helps.

btw, to clarify, with your right hand, you would use your thumb and middle finger - thumb for the right nostril and mid finger for the left ~
