Sadhana (Geraldine Duff)

An introduction to Meditation

In this course we will build a solid foundation of practice in the art of meditation, exploring several different forms and will discuss the theory and physiology of meditation in bite size chunks, more fully explained in handouts to take away with you.

Each day of the course will include
preliminary asana to stretch and prepare the body for sitting. (or lying down if this is preferable), preliminary pranayama (breathing practices) to sensitise the awareness of the breath and calm the mind for meditation and a deep relaxation / yoga nidra to end the class.

The Satyananda style of yoga emphasis awareness and a meditative approach. All classes include asana (bodywork), pranayama (breathing practices) and a yoga nidra (deep relaxation/meditation).

This class is suitable for those with little or no experience of yoga who wish to learn the foundations of yoga practice in a progressive class.

The class is suitable for all levels of fitness as students are guided to work within their own present capabilites and modifications to practices will be given where necessary.
