Breathe Easy: Simple Meditations for Reducing Anxiety

Anxiety can make it feel as though our thoughts, emotions and circumstances have power over us, leaving us feeling overwhelmed or unable to switch off.

Over four weeks, you’ll explore a variety of breathing meditations and practical Buddhist wisdom that help you gradually develop a calmer, more peaceful mind. Rather than simply managing anxious feelings, you’ll begin building the inner confidence and habits that naturally lead to greater freedom and wellbeing.

Each class includes practical teachings, guided meditations and time to reflect on how these methods can be applied in everyday life.

What to Expect at a Meditation Class

Each class includes:

  • a relaxing breathing meditation
  • practical Buddhist teachings
  • a second guided meditation related to the topic
  • simple methods to use in daily life

No previous meditation experience is needed. Classes are suitable for beginners as well as experienced meditators.

Everyone is welcome.
