Heartfulness Meditation
Modern life makes heavy demands on us and we often feel rushed and pressured. Through meditation we learn to create a place of calm and peace inside ourselves. Just as a tree with deep roots is able to withstand strong winds, meditation increases our capacity to cope with the challenges of our busy lives. Heartfulness offers a simple and practical approach to meditation and relaxation which is easy to learn and integrate into your daily life. Based on an ancient form of Raja Yoga, it has been simplified and updated to suit a busy modern life. We meditate on the heart, bringing our focus and attention to the place where we connect with our feelings. As we tune into our hearts through regular meditation, we find ourselves more in touch with our feelings, more compassionate, less judgmental, better able to understand ourselves and other people. Our intuitive understanding grows so that our decisions are guided by a deeper sense of what is really right for us, and this in turn gives us greater confidence in ourselves. Heartfulness uses the subtle energy of yogic transmission, making it easier for our attention to move deeper within. This can best be understood through direct experience. We invite you to experience Heartfulness, and the unique benefits of this transmission, for yourself. Sessions are always free, and open to anyone interested. Donations to cover room hire and to support our work, are always welcome.
Yoga Flow
In this class we will flow through a sequence of postures, led by the breath, cultivating rhythm and heat in the body. We will start by gently warming up, leaving the day behind before exploring dynamic fluid sequences. We will practice sun salutations, standing, balance and seated postures. There will be an opportunity to cool down and relax with a guided relaxation to finish. Expect to increase body awareness, mental focus and find a sense of calm amongst the movement!
Beginners through to experienced yogis are welcome, modifications will be provided however everyone’s practice is unique on any given day, you will be encouraged to listen to body and make the class your own.
