This workshop is ideal for complete beginners and also experienced meditators who want to expand and develop their meditation practice. The workshop is designed to provide you with practical experience and a real insight into meditation.

You will learn:

1. Why we meditate.
2. Classical meditation postures, as well as practical tips on how to meditate and develop a daily practice.
3. Five meditation techniques from a range of different traditions including Tibetan Buddhism, Theravada Buddhism, Kashmir Shaivism, Sufism and Hridaya Meditation (a unique meditation inspired by 20th century sage Ramana Maharshi).

You will be provided with take home guidance materials.

We encourage any and all questions- we want you to walk away with the knowledge and tools to continue your own meditation practice at home.

Beginners: If you've been curious about meditation, but didn't really know where to start, or if you've tried meditation but struggled to keep up a daily practice- then this workshop is perfect for you!

Experienced meditators: We will be exploring some very beautiful and unique meditations, such as meditations on the Heart inspired by Sufism and Ramana Maharshi. We will also be exploring a special breath meditation from Kashmir Shaivism. This workshop offers an opportunity to take your meditation practice deeper.

Spaces are limited. We want to keep the workshop intimate, so we can have plenty of time for questions and go deeper together as a group.

Location: The workshop will be in the Shiva Room at Pure Yoga Cheshire, located in Maccelsfield, Cheshire. This is a warm upstairs room used for the practice of meditation and calming yin yoga.

Workshop Leaders: The workshop will be lead by Adam and Sabina. For the past couple of years they have dedicated their lives to the practice of yoga and meditation. They have both done many long meditation retreats to deepen and stabilise their practice. They understand first hand some of the common challenges of meditation and also the deep beauty and richness that meditation can bring. Meditation is their passion and they are incredibly excited to share this workshop!

What to Bring: We provide mats, bolsters, blankets and chairs. Tea making facilities and herbal teas will be provided.
