“Meditating here is like a turbo boost compared to when I am just doing it by myself. And so different to being guided by an app. It’s like going to a mental spa. I feel refreshed and energised and ready to take on the week.”
Paolo
“When I meditate, I experience an inner warmth and a connectivity with what's around me. Very calming and empowering.”
Jennie
“When I have meditated, everything is much less of a drag. My day doesn’t feel like wading through treacle. I feel both relaxed and energised at the same time.”
Paolo
“When I meditate, my busy thoughts go away and my mind is calm and quiet. Also, after meditating I feel so relaxed it’s like I’ve had a nice warm bath.”
Iris
“Since learning to meditate, I take the world much less seriously and I don’t worry about things so much.”
Max
“I cannot find the same clarity when meditating anywhere else, whether it be at home or with an online zoom group. There’s something special about the whole class setup. The meditation room, the people and the teacher all help to generate an atmosphere that really helps me meditate better than I have ever been able to do on my own.”
Ben
