Learn meditation. Come back to yourself.

Q: Is this suitable for complete beginners?

Yes. The introductory course is a gentle starting point for people who are new to meditation.

You’re also welcome if you’ve tried other approaches to meditation and would like to explore something different.

Q: Do I need to bring anything?

Just yourself and a little curiosity. Wear whatever feels comfortable. Raja Yoga is practised sitting comfortably on a chair, so you won’t need a yoga mat, special clothing or equipment.

Meditation for everyday life

What is Raja Yoga?

Raja Yoga is a meditation of the mind. It begins with a gentle shift of attention, from the world around you to the awareness of who you are within.

Practised sitting comfortably, with eyes gently open, it invites you to explore yourself as a spiritual being and develop a loving connection with the Divine.

Through simple, gentle practice, you can learn to guide your thoughts and bring a more peaceful awareness into everyday life.
