Introduction to Meditation

During this workshop we will explore a range of meditation styles + strategies to bring even the busiest minds to a state of peace.

Finding the style that feels best for you to make meditation a part of your everyday.

Developing a daily meditation practice not only calms your mind, it reduces past + present day accumulated stress in your nervous system, deepens your connection to your truest self, brings more joy into the mundane of life, allows you to respond rather than react to arising situations, brings more clarity + creativity into your work, as well as more harmony into your home.

This event is free for our Boheme Members (those that are on paid weekly memberships)

For non members we ask for a donation for your experience.

We offer this as a way for us to always provide accessible offerings for all community.

As we understand now more than ever the pressure of the cost of living + want all people to always have Yoga, our experiences + community, just as we need it.

This allows us to continue to cover our operating costs, invest in our teachers experiences + ongoing training, support community accessibility whilst showing value for the experience you are to receive at a price that is comfortable for you.

Before making your donation we ask for you to read our brief of The Sliding Scale created by Alexis J. Cunningfolk.
