This 10 week Mindfulness Yoga course will give you the chance to try out Mindfulness Yoga and meditation. Or, if you already have some experience of Mindfulness practices, it will give you an opportunity to deepen and develop your practice.

You will also learn how to bring mindfulness into your everyday life. Encouragement will be given to develop your own home Mindfulness Yoga practice, and the book "Mindfulness a practical guide to Finding Peace in a Frantic World", with its accompanying CD, will help you to do this.

Over the 10 weeks the course will include the following Mindfulness meditations: Mindfulness of body and breath, mindfulness of sound, thoughts and feelings, the Three Minute Breathing Space, and the Body Scan practice. As well as a physical Mindful Yoga practice each week.

Mindfulness is proven to help with stress, anxiety and depression. It can boost concentration, improve relationships and develop self-awareness. It can even have a positive effect on physical problems like hypertension and chronic pain. Anyone can learn mindfulness, it's simple, you can practise it anywhere, and the results can be life changing.

This course is suitable for all levels of ability and beginners are welcome. Please bring a yoga mat and a warm blanket. You may also want to bring cushions/ yoga blocks to sit on, a slim cushion for under your head. Wear loose fitting comfortable clothing suitable for exercising in.

we can blossom like a flower,
and everyone in our family,
