why meditate?

Life can be overwhelming. Often we’re caught in the push / pull of thoughts, feelings & reactions, as though being thrown from one thing to the next…

Yoga & meditation are essentially awareness practices

At their heart is understanding that where we 𝒸𝒽𝑜𝑜𝓈𝑒 to place attention immediately affects how we feel & so how we respond to events

Our quality of our attention determines the quality of 𝑒𝓋𝑒𝓇𝓎 𝑒𝓍𝓅𝑒𝓇𝒾𝑒𝓃𝒸𝑒 we have

With regular practice & the right tools we can become more present and open up space around the noise of thoughts

From there we can go even deeper, recognising our mind’s patterns & creating positive changes

We can discover how to directly influence our well-being, efficiency & joy on a daily basis

This is why awareness & meditation are at the heart of all my classes, both as a stand-alone practice and threaded through every āsana (posture)

Once we develop a practice (that can even be enjoyable!) it spreads into all aspects of daily life
