Hatha Yoga with Caroline Dickson

The class welcomes those completely new to yoga as well as those who have been practising for years, and offers a balanced, general hatha yoga practise. It includes a lengthy warm up stretch, followed by asanas/postures and finishing with a guided relaxation. I like to help students in and out of postures with clear, precise instructions and light adjustments, and focus on the  connection of movement with the breath. Expect a lighthearted, gentle class with plenty of opportunity to challenge yourself too.

Please give me a ring/text if you have any questions or would like to book a place.

How to begin and make progress in meditation with Mike Garside

Meditation is a method for making our mind peaceful and positive. There are many different kinds of meditation, and on this four week course we will learn a variety of different meditation techniques, all drawn from the Buddhist tradition. We will look at and practise breathing meditations for calming our mind and relaxing our body; meditations for developing a loving and compassionate heart; meditations to help us become aware of our own mind and let go of negativity; and visualization practices. Each meditation will be introduced, guided, and then practised in silence. The aim of the course is to become familiar enough with a variety of meditation techniques so that we have a meditation toolkit at our disposal to apply whenever we need it. This course is aimed mainly at beginners but also as a refresher for those who already have a meditation practice. If there is sufficient interest we will continue with regular meditation classes after the summer break.
