Meditation with Heart
2020 Program Series
6-week Courses at CoreYoga
Meditation overall helps build resilience. We hear so much about enriching our children and youg people with these skills, but what about us as healthy, happy adults?
Here at Core, our approach to Meditation is simple... it is a "synthesis of science and spirit " where what we share come from the heart and is specifically linked to resilience (which is backed by science).
Our integrative yearly program is centred around building resilience – which is great if you’re stressed, or simply wanting more out of life, desire optimal living, and where thriving and not just surviving is vital. We are passionate about connecting with likeminded people, and believe that meditation is not one size fits all. Although meditation has the capacity to help everyone, we also know from expereince that some styles will resoneate more with different people. With that in mind, we choose to offer various courses with different focuses over the year, so there is something for everyone.

CORE YOGA FOR BEGINNERS (FOUNDATION COURSE)
We believe that yoga is for everyone!
Have you decided to be brave and get yourself off to a yoga class only to find that the class had inadequate instruction and moved too quickly for you, leaving you feeling unsure of whether you were doing the movement correctly and safely? Our foundational yoga course for beginners is a perfect balance of clear instruction, sequential and progressive movement that allows you to discover the joys of learning new movement patterns in a safe and encouraging environment. Get back to the foundations of hatha yoga asana (postures), develop upper body strength, and learn to link these transformative movements together in mindful movement!
We believe that yoga is for everyone and our goal is to find ways that facilitate your ability to participate safely in a class that suits your needs. Overtime, we hope that your progression enables you to attend other classes on the schedule so that the feeling of physical and mental ease that regular yoga offers becomes part of your life.
