They take place from 10.30am to 12.30pm and the cost is £10 per session.

These sessions focus on very simple but fundamental exercises to restore balance, equanimity and a healthier state of being. They can be done sitting, standing or lying down so that anyone can do them. Because they are fundamental practices they will benefit beginners and experienced students alike.
