New Brighton Meditation & Yoga Nidra Class

Getting back into the swing of things
The summer draws to an end and we prepare for the cooler autumn weather, many people returning from their holidays and back to the routines of work and daily living.

This can be the perfect time of year to make sure we have healthy beneficial routines in our lives, routines to handle the pressures of daily life, to gain some clarity in decisions and choices and to enjoy maintaining energy and enthusiasm for life.

We are very lucky in Brighton, because there are so many great ways we can learn to look after ourselves better, lots of fabulous yoga courses, Tai Chi, Chi Kung and meditation classes.

Meditation Workshops starting in October
This October I am teaching a series of three hour workshops focusing on meditation. The purpose of these workshops is to help you develop skills to meditate easily and successfully, to achieve all the benefits available from meditation, to enhance your thinking and emotional health.

The first workshop is on Saturday October 9th 10am to 1pm at The Studio, Aloka, East Street, Brighton BN1 1HP. There is another one on October 30th at the same time and place. Then I will be running the meditation and Yoga Nidra workshops monthly.

You can read more about my approach to these workshops by checking out an interview I did with The Brighton Magazine - follow this link:
Brighton Meditation Classes

My first workshop will focus on an approach know as Yoga Nidra. This is unlike over forms of yoga because it doesn't involve any postures, movement or bending - you just lie down on the floor for the whole practice. It involves a series of amazing techniques to take you into a very relaxed state of calmness and wellbeing. In fact the state you will experience is much deeper than ordinary meditation.

There is more information about Yoga Nidra, and why it is good for meditation, on my website:

Brighton Meditation and Yoga Nidra Workshop in October

In October I am teaching a new meditation and Yoga Nidra workshop in Brighton, designed to help you meditate more easily. The workshop is more than just meditation, it is based on a technique known as Yoga Nidra.

What has Yoga Nidra to do with meditation

Yoga Nidra is a unique practice incorporating relaxation, meditation and the actual state of Yoga Nidra itself i.e. “conscious sleep”. Unlike other styles of yoga, such as Hatha, there are no stretches, no postures and no movement. The whole practice is performed lying on a mat.

How I teach meditation and Yoga Nidra

When I teach Yoga Nidra and meditation in Brighton, I use a unique approach to guide the practice, incorporating techniques from the Bihar School of Yoga and from NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), to accelerate the process of relaxation and meditation, so you develop a routine to use for the rest of your life.

The system of Yoga Nidra, as developed by the Bihar School of Yoga, is extremely effective and NLP helps you get started a little more easily. That's why I combine the two techniques because it will help you overcome some of the typical obstacles to relaxation and meditation.

There is another reason I use some NLP when I teach Yoga Nidra in Brighton, because it helps you develop your "sankalpa". The word sankalpa roughly translates as resolve or resolution and it helps you set-up a strong intent whenever you practise Yoga Nidra. In fact, you will always repeat a specific resolution phrase, or sankalpa, to yourself three times at the start and again at the end of each practice. Using some very simple NLP you can make sure you really experience the full intention behind your sankalpa, thereby giving it more power, more than just words, much more.

I am a qualified NLP trainer certified by Richard Bandler (co-creator of NLP) and licenced to train by the Society of NLP, so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing I will be using the very latest knowledge to enhance your experience.

You can find more information about Yoga Nidra, meditation and my Brighton classes and workshops on my new website http://www.spiritspace.co.uk

Meanwhile here is some more detail about what my Yoga Nidra workshops are all about.

What you will learn in my Brighton Yoga Nidra workshops

Unlike regular Yoga Nidra classes I am offering a full three hour workshop to give you a chance to explore some of the specific elements of Yoga Nidra in a bit more detail and to combine other consciousness teachings to achieve the best benefit from the practice. Each workshop is unique because I adapt the way I teach to meet the requirements of the group I am teaching.

My aim is to help ypou develop skills way beyond relaxation, skills you can use in your everyday life to improve your emotional well being, your mental effectiveness and your general health.

The workshops are always very practical. I remain focused on the experience itself throughout the Yoga Nidra workshop to ensure you enjoy a positive learning experience. I encourage practical questions rather than theoretical ones, though I will make sure you have some basic theory to support your understanding.

During the first two hours of the workshop I help you develop some useful skills by tackling key elements of Yoga Nidra, supported by some useful NLP. Then, during the last hour, I guide you through a compete Yoga Nidra practice.
