Description:
Explore the art of meditation in this Masterclass, where we delve into the What, Why, and How of this timeless practice. Meditation cannot be taught, only techniques can be shared. Unlike Asanas where alignment, movement and breath etc. can be described, meditation is an inward journey. It is an exploration of the most personal nature, between the self, the ego, the mind and the soul. Meditation is a personal commitment.
Asana practice prepares the mind and body for deeper stillness, and discover techniques to calm the "chattering mind"—bringing the turbulent sea of thoughts to a state of serene focus. This class emphasizes that meditation is not a final accomplishment but a lifelong process, an inward journey toward clarity, calm, and intuition. With practical exercises and insightful discussion, you’ll gain the tools to begin or deepen your meditation practice and work towards the goal of yoga: “The cessation of the fluctuations of the mind,” as Patanjali described. Join us to learn, explore, and make a personal commitment to stillness.
