Online Meditation Sessions
I am a teacher with the Melbourne Meditation Centre and run a weekly online meditation practice session. In these group sessions I take students through a variety of guided meditations to ensure you get a taste of different styles of meditation. These may include meditations on the breath, on the senses, on thoughts and emotions, visualisations, body scans, relaxation meditations, self-enquiry, and mindful movement such as Qigong.
Together we bust a bunch of meditation myths and help you overcome potential blocks to meditation, aiding you in developing your own unique and sustainable practice.
You can purchase a single class pass, 5-class pass, or 10-class pass directly via the Melbourne Meditation Centre website. Sessions run for approximately 45 minutes
Frequently Asked Questions
Most frequent questions and answers
Many students that I’ve encountered who have struggled with meditation previously have been operating under a definition of meditation that constrains them and doesn’t work with their unique needs. In these classes we embrace components such as movement, thoughts, and emotions that may not have been part of your previous experience with meditation. I also guide you through different styles of meditation in each class so that you can experience a wide range and discover which ones work for you. And of course I provide a space where you can raise your challenges with meditation and together we can brainstorm ways forward with your practice.
While meditation apps can be a great starting point, attending a live class offers a deeper and more personalised experience. In this class, you’ll benefit from real-time guidance tailored to the needs of the group, the opportunity to ask questions, and the sense of connection that comes from practicing with others in a shared space. Unlike apps, which are one-size-fits-all, this class allows for a dynamic and responsive approach, incorporating your unique intentions and challenges. Additionally, the supportive environment can help you stay accountable, deepen your practice, and create a sense of community, connection, and encouragement that apps simply can’t replicate.
