Live streamed weekly relaxation & mindfulness class: Tuesday evenings, 7.30-8.30pm

“I attended my first ever mindfulness class (live streamed) last night and wanted to put in writing to thank you for introducing me to a way of finding peace and calmness in such a gentle and natural way. I truly have not felt that calm or at peace for a very long time.”
— Sam

Our long-running Tuesday evening live streamed relaxation and mindfulness sessions could be for you if you are wishing to:

  • de-stess and relax

  • experience different meditation practices, including the deeply restful lying down practice of yoga nidra (guided relaxation)

  • find natural ways (that could help) to alleviate mild-to-moderate anxiety or insomnia, though please note mindfulness is not recommended for anyone experiencing serious depression or high levels of anxiety

  • explore the benefits of coming out of your head and thoughts, more into your body

  • nurture mind/body wellbeing in a way that is suitable for beginners as well as more experienced practitioners

  • be led with a clear, nurturing, entirely secular approach

Sessions are suitable for most people. A range of options for postures will always be given. Often we will be lying down.

Being 'mindful’ means being gently present to our experience as it happens, with kindness and interest, rather than being overly caught up in thoughts and feelings (being in our heads).

The benefits of a regular meditation practice are well documented and are included in NHS guidelines as a powerful way to look after our mental wellbeing (click here for more).

Sessions are usually led by Lucia, who has a long-standing meditation practice and trained to teach mindfulness-based approaches at Bangor University (postgraduate, two years) and Mindfulness for Schools. She trained to teach Yoga Nidra (guided relaxation and meditation) with the Yoga Nidra Network and has also recently trained with Breathworks.

““I have found YATM’s online mindfulness sessions to be very enjoyable. They provide a good mix of mindfulness practices, meaning there is something for everyone, and something that you can build into everyday life. I would highly recommend the sessions.” ”
