Achieve Yoga & enter into a state of ‘thoughtless awareness’. This community group was started in Nantwich/Crewe & Stoke - Newcastle under Lyme to invite all those who might be interested in learning to meditate and for those who actually want to achieve Yoga. Many are curious as to what meditation or yoga actually is and what's it all about?  The meetings aim to provide that insight and know how. With Sahaja Yoga Meditation we normally sit on chairs to achieve yoga, effortlessly & spontaneously. So there is no need for mats and no special clothing required. The charity offers free bespoke classes that are designed to help those attending get into a genuine meditative state, which can be felt tangibly. It is quite effortless and spontaneous.  The free classes feature introductory talks, video's, practical workshops and general question and answer opportunities, making them perfect for seekers trying to establish a state of yoga, and they are available across London most evenings and throughout the UK.  Sahaja Yoga free meditation classes help attendees to achieve a deep state of peace and spiritual awareness in life. Try Sahaja Yoga meditation classes and see for yourself the improvement to your mental, physical and emotional state.  Learn and experience… \- Simple meditation techniques\. Guided meditations to help reduce stress and achieve the peace of true meditation\. Tips on how to help stay in balance during the day and how to meditate at home\.  The meditation is based on connecting with the inner chakras (energy centres) and balancing the subtle body. The tradition and aims of meditation are explained which in essence is to be in the present with no mental activity or thoughts about the past or the future.  Occasionally there are 1 day retreats to help those interested, deepen their individual experience and hear advice and tips from those who have been practicing for some time. It’s ultimately all about getting into ‘thoughtless awareness’, a natural state of being.

We host one online event a month to discuss our chosen read - please note we are not a predominantly online group. We host other bookish events such as author evenings, theatre and cinema trips and literary festivals, but are not adverse to afternoons out just for coffee, cake and company. **Please note:** Due to the recent substantial increase in the MeetUp platform fees for organisers, we have had to implement a subscription fee. As the MeetUp fees are charged twice-yearly, this is how the group fees will be collected, i.e. from 1st August – 31st January and 1st February – 31st July. **The fee is £18.00 for 6 months.** Please settle your fee within 2 weeks of joining the group via Paypal  **https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/bridgnorthmeetu**p Should you decide not to continue, then unfortunately it will be necessary to remove you from the group out of fairness to those members who have paid. Thank you! If you do put your name down for an event and are unable to attend, even last minute, please update your RSVP as soon as possible to give someone on the waiting list the opportunity to attend. Please apply using a recent photograph of yourself so that you can be identified at events and preferably with your first and last name. The organisers reserve the right to remove non-active members. Reinstatement is at the organiser's sole discretion. We are looking to establish friendships with local people so if you are outside the Shropshire area we may refuse approval to join. We like to keep the group current so if you have not attended an event in your first 6 months, then membership may be withdrawn. Acceptance to the group is at the organiser's discretion.
