Meditation For Modern Minds

‘I enjoyed your class very much. You are wonderful, always loving, thoughtful and willing to share your knowledge with others. This makes you a truly good teacher. From my heart, thank you.’ –  Sudepha, yoga teacher

This is a meditation class for anyone who wants to learn the essential elements of mindfulness and basic meditation techniques. You will learn tools and techniques to take into your day-to-day life that help with managing on-going stress through improved focus, self-awareness and self-mastery.

Besides the tools and techniques of meditation, participants will learn about blocks to mindfulness and how to overcome them so they can sustain a calm and clear mental state. Specific relaxation and stress release exercises will be taught along with solutions and strategies for managing stress and tension.

‘Mindfulness practice means that we commit fully in each moment to be present, inviting ourselves to interface with this moment in full awareness, with the intention to embody as best we can an orientation of calmness, mindfulness, and equanimity right here and right now’ – Jon Kabat-Zinn

‘Mindfulness helps us get better at seeing the difference between what’s happening and the stories we tell ourselves about what’s happening: stories that get in the way of direct experience. Often such stories treat a fleeting state of mind as if it were our entire and permanent self’ – Sharon Salzberg

‘In mindfulness, one is not only restful and happy but alert and awake. Meditation is not evasion; it is a serene encounter with reality’ – Thich Nhat Hanh

Time, energy and attention goes into the preparation of classes each week, therefore, we appreciate that you honour this by advising us of your attendance in advance.

As space is limited, we appreciate it if you only respond once your attendance is confirmed and that you amend your RSVP if your status changes.

Plan to arrive on time or early, so as not to disrupt the session once it has begun. If you are late you are still welcome to join us, but we ask that you be as quiet as possible so as to be mindful of the group already in meditation.

Contact me for a coaching consultation to speak more about how coaching can support you to achieve clarity, purpose and alignment with your goals in life.
