Kyabgön Phakchok Rinpoche translates Buddhist methods into techniques for creating inner peace, kindness and compassion. He will give two free talks next week at the Yoga Barn.
The Yoga Barn in Chilmark and Adult and Community Education of Martha’s Vineyard (ACE MV) have teamed up to provide a nine-week yoga teacher training course. The classes will take place one weekend per month from September through May 2013. College credits from Florida State University are available.
Kyabgön Phakchok Rinpoche leads a dharma talk on meditation tonight, August 9, beginning at 7 p.m. at the Yoga Barn, located on South Road in Chilmark. The talk focuses on creating space in daily life.
