Description

Class Experience

We will explore what meditation is and how we can practice meditation to cultivate focus and calm. 

First we will define meditation, then we will practice meditating. 

Week 1: Focus on the breath and an intention.
Week 2: Focus on feeling steady and sturdy.
Week 3: Focus on calm and spreading calm.
Week 4: Focus on creating calm in the body and mind.

Each class will offer 2 different meditation techniques and include descriptions of the techniques, explanations of the benefits of each type...

Students will learn 8 different meditation techniques, when to use them and why.

I am a certified Yoga Instructor with 17 years of experience, and have taught meditation for 7 years. The meditations offered in this course will be simple, easy to follow and in line with the course topic.

When teaching, I encourage the development of self-awareness with questions. Each learner will be encouraged to curiously explore what is going on for them and then use this insight to tailor their meditation practice.

What Learners Will Need:
- Somewhere to Explore and Experiment (a quiet space).
- Something to Sit On (a meditation cushion, block or chair).
- Something to Lie Down On (a yoga mat, blanket or rug).
- Something to Drink (water, tea, juice or drink of choice).
- Something to Eat (a small snack will be required for Week 3).

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

1 hour per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.

During each class we will practice a meditation (focus our attention on one object for a period of time).

No experience with meditation is necessary as what we will cover will be appropriate for beginners and taught in a secular manner.
