Class and Workshop Structure

Here’s what to expect from an in-person class or themed workshop. Drawing on the latest insights from contemporary neuroscience and ancient wisdom, you will learn a range of simple techniques that will not only help you to feel calmer and better able to cope with life’s challenges, but also achieve greater protection from long term ill health.

Techniques

All classes, workshops and events are based on a secular approach and grounded in mindful awareness techniques that can be applied to any given situation, rather than practiced for a specific amount of time. Suitable for people from all walks of life, the straightforward tuition will help to reduce stress, increase calmness and clarity, as well as promote personal resilience and greater levels of happiness. Basic exercises include, breathwork, body scan, positive affirmations and visualisations. Occasionally there will be additional options such as mindful movement.

Neuroscience  

Given the overwhelming evidence that unhealthy lifestyles are contributing to a range of physiological health conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and inflammatory conditions, integrative mind-body interventions, like meditation can play a significant part in future prevention and treatment of disease. Numerous scientific studies have shown that meditation not only positively affects what goes on in the brain, but what happens to the body at a cellular level, and has the potential to improve physical and mental health outcomes for all.

Personal Development

Studies have also shown that mindfulness meditation not only aids in relieving stress, depression, and anxiety, but it has also been noted that practitioners experience enhanced levels of self esteem, and brain function, leading to greater life satisfaction and personal resilience. We can all use a little more balance in our lives, and meditation is known to be an effective way to center oneself and promote overall well-being and happiness.
