I can vividly remember my first meditation class. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Sat in a room of people who looked like they were floating and...I had never wanted to run away more in my life!! ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I'd taken to the moving meditation aspect of yoga like a duck to water, but sitting still was a very different story.

The class was an hour long (talk about straight in at the deep end!) and I didn’t listen to a single word the teacher said because absolutely all I could think about was planning my escape. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
“Everyone has their eyes closed, I could just slip out of the door (or even the window!) and nobody would notice” I thought to myself as the teacher was whittering on in the background...⁣⁣
⁣⁣
At that time of my life, being in a room full of people with my eyes closed made me feel sick with anxiety. So I sat there with my eyes just open enough to see the blur of the person in front of me. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Too polite to actually go through with my escape plan, I just sat there. Fidgeting with my eyes half open, painfully counting the minutes until it was over. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
But even through that discomfort and urge to run, there’s was a split second where I felt some level of freedom...and that split second is what inspired me to come back. ⁣⁣

Overtime that sense of freedom in stillness got louder and louder.
⁣⁣
And now, many many years later,  so humbled by the transformation that mindfulness had given me and how vital I believe it is in a modern life; it's my absolute honour to share the practice with you. 
⁣
The sense of  quietness cultivated through mindfulness practice, however momentary, is your superpower in a world of distraction and unsteadiness. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Come,  sit with me.
