Reclaiming Attention - Meditation for Life

According to Patanjali, meditation is the first cornerstone of practice, with perhaps the most important sutra being 1.2 "yogah chitta vritti nirodhah", the essence being “Yoga is stilling the fluctuations of the mind”
Where attention goes, energy flows and while the 21st century world keeps spinning on the axis of distraction, we get pulled further from our own centre.
The teachings of yoga have been tried and tested for centuries by those seeking a way to find calm amidst the storms of life, to deepen their connections to what matters and share the benefits of their practice with the world.
This 4 week course offers the opportunity to become more familiar with some of the main principles of meditation through embodied movement, breath awareness, contemplation and relaxation. The aim is to encourage a spirit of enquiry, through cultivating curiosity and engaging with 'the rich lens of attention'.
Suitable for students who are looking to begin meditation as well as for those who want to develop greater insight and a more creative approach to their practice. Each week explores different themes to help integrate our insights and experiences, through gentle movement, breath awareness, meditative awareness and self enquiry.

Practicing meditation in a group can enhance its benefits through collective intention, helps to reduce distraction and creates an atmosphere of motivation.

Whilst this runs as a four week course, drop-ins may be available. Please enquire.
