The Yoga Barn is now offering Relaxation & Meditation Classes
What does the class involve?
The Yoga Barn will be holding two weekly meditation classes drawing on the eight Limbs of Patanjalie's Yoga Sutras. These classes are completely suitable for beginners and regular practitioners of meditation.
We will offer specific tools to:
- Sharpen concentration
- Replenish energy and willpower
- Free your mind from anxiety, anger or resentment
- Access your deepest resources of strength, patience and love
The one hour class will include:
Pranayama (breath control) = Beneficial to health, steadies the body and is highly conducive to the concentration of the mind.
Pratyahara (withdrawal of senses) = Bridge between the external and internal. Guided relaxation/visulisation.
We will also be exploring other forms of meditation and the group will take on an organic approach and respond to the needs of participants.
Our weekly meditation classes are easy, friendly and supportive. You don't need to know anything or bring anything. Just leave your shoes and your worries at the door, come in and relax...

If Meditation's That Good Why Isn't Everyone Doing It?
When I talk to people about the benefits of meditation, most of them are already aware that meditation can help them reduce stress and anxiety, yet they haven't tried it. Why? Because either they're too busy to learn something new, or they feel confused and they don't know where to begin.
Meditation is Something you Need to be Shown
If someone where to guide you through a simple meditation practice you would be amazed at how simple it is to get started.
Our weekly classes at the Yoga Barn are designed to be as simple and supportive as possible so that you can feel the calm current of meditation running through your life within minutes of walking through the door.
