Lead by guest teachers

A mindfulness class incorporating gentle movement, breathing techniques and guided meditation to help calm the mind, reduce anxiety and feel more at ease in life. We incorporate a variety of styles and meditation techniques each week using mantra, mudra, gentle movement, poetry, visualisation, yoga nidra and relaxation.

The intention of meditation practices is to develop clarity and to cultivate a quieter and more peaceful state of mind. In addition to helping us find calmness, these meditations also help improve feelings of well-being, happiness, and connection. Meditating is not all about stilling the mind and many people struggle with this concept. This is the biggest reason people think they can never enjoy the benefits of meditation. We will help you overcome this by breaking down these meditations into more manageable segments to help you begin to have a more enjoyable practice.

We arrive for practice in a quiet way and get settled in our seats. There will be time after class to discuss the meditation or to ask questions. Meditation props are provided however you may want to bring a blanket and wear cosy socks. These community classes are *free of charge and will be led by Niamh, Liam and guest teachers. *donations are welcome on the day which will go towards our local Saltmills & St.Kearns Community Group for community projects.

“When we bring our mind into our body, the body becomes mindful, and the mind becomes embodied” - Donna Farhi
