We offer sets of meditation classes three or four times each year which are completely free of charge from beginning to end. We typically start off with an intensive set of three classes, each of which is around 90 to 120 minutes in length. Then there is a chance to continue for a further six or seven sessions to develop your meditation practice further and learn a little more about how meditation can impact positively on different aspects of your life. We teach a range of different meditation exercises in our classes, all of them based on the extensive writings of Sri Chinmoy, who has offered literally hundreds of different exercises and techniques. Since each of us is different, our personal meditation practices will evolve in a unique way. So we keep our practice flexible and encourage you to go with your own inspirations and intuitions.
Who comes to our meditation classes? Well there is no typical student. We have people of all ages, nationalities, backgrounds, of many different professions and of none. Sometimes people who practice a particular religion want to learn meditation to strengthen their faith. More often people do not feel that they have any particular religious or spiritual beliefs and yet they still feel the need to go within and bring more peace and poise into their lives.
Will it suit you? Well, we cannot tell you that! But you are more than welcome to come along to our classes and answer that question for yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions
If you come across this web-site at a time of year where you have to wait a few weeks for your class to start, we would recommend that you try the exercise below to get a head start. It is very helpful to use background music when you first learn meditation so we would also suggest that you download some free meditation music.
