Meditation is about becoming more focused and alert and enhances mental agility resulting in improved executive decision making and creativity.

Reducing the heart rage, blood pressure and tension contributes to reduced stress thus having a positive effect on anxiety and depression.

Join me for an introduction to the ancient, holistic practice of Ayurveda, where you’ll explore the foundations of conscious living, the five elements (the Pancha Mahabhutas - fire, air, space, earth and water) and the three mind-body doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Through engaging 'dosha' quizzes, discover your unique constitution and gain insights into the qualities and characteristics that shape your personality. Learn about your current state of health and learn to recognise when you are in balance or imbalanced. We use this information as a base from which to create good health. We'll delve into key concepts such as the roots of Ayurveda, Sankhya philosophy, the Mahagunas, Gunas, Ayurvedic physiology, and the Dhatus. Learn about the benefits of Ayurveda, the layers of life (physical, subtle, and causal), and how mindful attention can support balanced health.

The Emotional Freedom session is designed to help you transform your emotional well-being and cultivate inner peace, enabling you to become more aware of your feelings and release any emotional tension that may be holding you back. You will learn powerful techniques of conscious communication to transform your relationships and get your needs met. Topics include happiness, the needs of human beings, emotions and 'dosha' types, seven biological responses, conscious communication, healing the source of stress, practices for emotional clearing and using attention to enliven your health.

You will be taught how to strengthen the body's inner pharmacy using sensory practices to balance each of the doshas. Ayurveda places great importance on our sensory functioning because   everything we take in via the senses (sound, touch, sight, taste and smell) is   metabolised into the chemistry and electricity of our body/mind.  The sense organs (ears, skin, eyes, tongue and nose) are the gateways through  which the outer environment enters into our inner environment. The quality of our sensory impressions and health of our gateways therefore  determines the quality of our physical and mental health.  By nourishing ourselves with healing sensory impressions, we can cultivate a quieter, calmer mind and a stable intellect.  This allows us to make choices that  expand our health and wellbeing. In this class, you will learn how to access your inner pharmacy and explore ways to nourish yourselves using the five senses - discovering how music, mantras, meditations, chanting, nutrition, chakra toning, visualisations, aromatherapy and colour can be utilised for greater physical health, emotional well-being and happiness all round.
