Meditation means being aware of what is happening, including being aware of being aware, without worrying about outcomes and results. It is an intimate meeting with oneself, investing in the only guaranteed long term relationship of our life: with ourself!
It can strengthen areas of your brain responsible for memory, learning, attention and self-awareness. The practice can also help calm down your sympathetic nervous system. Over time, meditation can increase cognition, memory and attention.
There are countless ways to practice meditation and different approaches appeal to different people. It is good to try a few different methods before finding one that is right for you.
This is a non denominational program series that will help everyone understand and train in the what, why, and how of meditation, in a structured & progressive manner.
By the end of this program, you will feel empowered to understand and create your own unique tool kit of micro doses, medium and longer duration practices, after having experimented with various techniques to find what resonates with you. This could depend, amongst other factors, on whether you resonate more with audio/visual/sensory or a combination of the above techniques. You will have a chance to clarify myths around meditation, share your experience & clarify your doubts after practising each technique. If you choose to train in a group setting, you will have a chance to observe that there is no one size that fits all and that’s ok. We must each experiment to find what works for us so we feel more motivated to return to the practise repeatedly.
Over 6 weekly sessions, we will cover:
The basics - the What, Why & How of meditation:
What meditation means, what mindfulness means, mindfulness vs meditation, the kinds of and the phases to a meditation practice, myths about meditation, pursuit of happiness - what does happiness mean to you, the route to equanimity
Why meditate? How does it help alter our brain, neuro plasticity, what we think we become, the mind-a time traveller, how our beliefs shape our reality, the quality of our inner conversations, conditioned vs unconditioned mind, attention - our most valuable resource, intention and how it drives action
How do we practice? What techniques are available to us - do we relate more to audio/visual/sensory practices ? How do we find what works for us and how can we create our unique toolkit of techniques and practices? How do we create the right ambience for meditation? Habit psychology, posture and the use of props, how do we set up our home practice, how often, when and what duration should we practice for?

These sessions are a combination of breath awareness, yogic breathing, deep stretches, deconstructing poses to build strength and flexibility. The aim is to use the tools and techniques embedded in this practice to train one’s mind and feel calm, spacious and energised. The more we practice, we become better able to carry the learnings from the mat into our life.

Yin yoga aims at cultivating inner silence and bringing to light a universal interconnecting quality. It is a slow-paced style of yoga where poses are typically held for 5 minutes or more. When we relax in Yin Yoga, we begin to heal the body’s deeply held tensions and change the patterns that leave our body constricted and impact our emotional health. As we progress through these physical, emotional and spiritual layers, the opportunity for expanding our consciousness easily follows.
