Taster: One off session for an introduction to meditation

£10.00

£10 per person - Suitable for complete beginners.

Venue: Riverside Pilates & Wellness, Riverside Road, Gorleston, NR31 6PX. The class before finishes at 7pm so please aim to arrive around 7:10pm so we can start at 7:15pm.

This 1 hour taster session is for people who have not yet attended any meditation and mindfulness sessions with me and is suitable for those with no meditation experience. This is the perfect way to come along and try my class before signing up to attend a block of four. You will be guided through 3-4 different types of meditation, will be given an introduction to how to meditate, and learn some of the science behind it and the benefits of it.

See the drop down below for dates this taster session is scheduled. Classes are small with a maximum of 10 people.

Once you’ve been to a taster session, you can book onto the Foundations of Meditation 4 week block or the Meditation for Menopause 4 week block.

Did you know…

There are significant potential benefits for your mind and body when you meditate and practice mindfulness? There is now a huge body of scientific evidence and research studies that show how meditation can positively impact our health and wellbeing. The NHS now recognises and recommends mindfulness as a complimentary therapy, and this is a type of meditation that can be easily integrated into your daily life.

Meditation isn’t about turning off our brains; it’s about taking some time to observe our minds and bodies as they are, learning techniques and tools for letting go of worries and anxieties about the past and the future, and instead embracing and accepting the present moment. There are lots of ways you can meditate, methods you can use, and places and times you can do it; it isn’t one size fits all, its about exploring and experimenting to find what suits you.

Meditation can:

  • Reduce stress, anxiety & pain

  • Reduce blood pressure, cholesterol & cellular aging

  • Improve sleep & emotional regulation

  • Help regulate the nervous system & strengthen the immune system

  • Improve focus, creativity & productivity

  • Cultivate a positive outlook & feeling of connection

  • Bringing a sense or calm, clarity & compassion

  • The key is to be comfortable so wear things you’ll be happy sitting/laying down in for the 45 minute class. Consider bringing along an extra layer, cushion or blanket to make sure you’re cosy. It’s a good idea to bring a bottle of water too. If you fancy bringing along a little notepad to jot down which meditations you enjoyed or reflections you’d like to record, then that’s great too.
