About Meditation

In meditation we learn to still and focus the mind. Meditation may be used to enhance concentration, help to cultivate a sense of well-being, as well as significantly reduce stress. Gradually, through practice, one learns to creatively respond to oneself and the world as opposed to habitually reacting to it.

About the course

  1. Preliminary practice: Finding balance and stillness in posture
