Meditation Classes
When the thoughts in the mind stop Meditation happens.
Meditation in Sanskrit is called Samadhi, when the individual consciousness
merges with the universal consciousness. This is a very high state and what is often
referred to as Meditation is in fact single pointed concentration of the mind.
Ideally we sit comfortably on floor cushions for meditation but one can also sit on a chair. The main thing is that the body is still and relaxed, the spine is straight and the breath is flowing. One then takes a point of concentration to focus the mind, this can be a mantra, a sacred symbol, a candle flame or the natural breath.
We usually work with the breath as this is always present. The breath is the most powerful at looking into the mind. The breath is a bridge between the body and the mind. It is extremely valuable to sit together in a group. The group energy helps to lift the energy and focus the mind.
Guided Meditation classes are being held every Friday evening at 19.30 and usually last 60mins, which also includes a discussion at the end

Patanjali Statue - Traditional form
Study Group
A Central Theme taught at the Centre is the interpretation of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali in the Asana, Pranayama, Meditation and Study Group classes
Why the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali - Probably the most comprehensive text on Raja/Hatha yoga. It includes valuable information on the practice of Yoga
I have chosen below two of the many important aphorisms.
Yogas Citta Vritti Nirodhah - Yoga Sutras of Patangali ch.1 p.2
When the movements of the mind finally come to an end what remains is Yoga
Sthira Sukham Asanam - Yoga Sutras of Patangali ch.2p.46
The Posture should be Steady, Strong and Comfortable
