Yoga & Meditation

Next series coming Tuesday mornings in October

Want to learn to meditate but don't know where to begin?  

Whenever you try to meditate you experience all sorts of obstacles and want to give up?

Meditation is not easy.  In essence you are asking the mind to go from a million thoughts to zero.  You are conditioned to think constantly.  Now you want to recondition the mind to slow down and be quiet.  

With this is mind I have developed a 4 week series to explore the basics of meditation:

Week 1 - Explore "why" you want to meditate, learn a basic meditation technique, explore the ideas of mindfulness and awareness, and tips to develop a consistent practice.

Week 2 - Explore the need for gentleness, releasing expectations and relaxing into everything that arises.  

Week 3 - Discuss 3 main obstacles that often present themselves and tips to overcome them.

Week 4 - Learn to work with emotions that arise, find your peace, and seeing what you practice transferring into your daily life.

Receive guidance and ongoing support to develop a regular consistent meditation practice and feel the life changing effects of this amazing practice. 

Please pre-register by contacting me.  Classes will happen online through Zoom.

Gently move the body in a slow sun salutation followed by a few gentle stretch yoga poses to ready the body to sit, sing mantra and meditate.
Focus will be on the Gayatri Mantra, the mantra for Enlightenment.  Following the mantra we will slip into a short time for meditation.
Sound can powerfully uplift and create specific vibrations within you.  The points on the hard and soft pallet of the roof of the mouth stimulate nerves that connect with the brain.  By using sound you can create resonance throughout the body creating states of peace and love and experience the vibrations of pure Divine Light.  
To hear the singing of the Gayatri Mantra CLICK HERE.  It is a video of Deva Premal singing the Gayatri live in concert.  It gives you an idea of how it sounds.  

Our first class we will explore the meaning of the mantra in depth and ways to use the mantra for uplifting consciousness.

Please pre-register.  If you have to miss one of these classes you can attend any other class as a make up.  Missing a class will not affect your experience of the series.

Play Consciously with Deep Breathing to Nourish & Let Go, Balance, Heal, and Meditate

Week 1 - Nourish & Let Go:  Learn the technique to fully engage deep breathing, known as 3 part breath (Deerga Swasam).  Learn to use this breath to deeply nourish with Life Force Energy (Prana) and relax, releasing tensions from body, mind and beyond. 

Week 2 - Balance :  Practice the breathing technique from week 1 (Deerga Swasam) and learn to use it consciously to balance the Susumna, masculine and feminine energies, earth and Divine energies within you as well as how to balance the chakras, the main energy centers along the centre of your body. 

Week 3 - Heal :  Practice Deerga Swasam breathing, adding the technique of Ujai to intensify the effects and learn to use this breath consciously to bring healing into specific areas of the body, breathing Life Force Energy into that part and using a meditation technique to clear out the old stagnant energies.  

Week 4 - Meditate :  Practice Deerga Swasam breathing and using it consciously to set you up for meditation by pulling together many of the techniques from previous weeks.  

Please pre-register.  It is best to attend all 4 classes to benefit the most from the series.
