You will explore a range of techniques, supported by mindful movement and practical tools for nervous system regulation. Each session is designed to help you reduce stress, improve focus, and develop a sustainable meditation practice to support everyday life.

This course offers a supportive and structured journey to:

· Learn four evidence-based mindfulness and meditation practices (body scan, counting the breath, feeling the breath, practice of presence), plus be guided to a practice of Yoga Nidra in our last session.

· Build confidence in meditation through practice, reflection, and feedback

· Develop awareness of body, breath, and mind in daily life

· Explore mindful movement and nervous system regulation tools

· Create a foundation for ongoing personal practice and wellbeing

· Benefit from research-recognised outcomes of mindfulness, such as improved focus and concentration, reduced anxiety, and greater emotional resilience

Who is this Course For?

This course is open to complete beginners as well as those with some prior experience of meditation. Participants should feel comfortable with periods of stillness and silence, though adjustments can be made to support individual needs.

Will I need any equipment or materials?

A simple notebook will be provided for journaling after meditation, but if you already keep a journal, you’re welcome to bring it along.
