Meditation for beginners

Have you ever considered giving meditation a try? Perhaps you’ve heard about the benefits of this extremely simple technique, or just wondered what a mindfulness class would be like?

We have a great opportunity at the Aquadome for members to give meditation a try, as we will be running two tester classes in February and March.

What is meditation?

Meditation is the act of mindfulness, taking some time out from our busy lives to allow the mind to unwind, letting go of the cycle of thoughts that often prevent us from really thinking clearly. You can think of meditation as an exercise for your mind, in the same way as running or lifting weights helps to strengthen your body.

Why should I try it?

Research has shown that meditation can have both physiological and psychological effects. Some of the psychological, emotional, and health benefits of meditation include:

• Increased self-awareness
• Better stress management skills
• Improved emotional well-being
• Better management of symptoms of conditions including anxiety disorders, depression, sleep disorders, pain issues and high blood pressure
• Improvement in working memory and fluid intelligence
• Changes in different aspects of attention

To really understand how meditation can help you, we recommend giving it a try for yourself!

Join a class

Our meditation class is perfect for beginners looking to try the technique for the first time. All you have to do is take a seat and your instructor will guide you through the session.

We will be running two tester classes, the first on February 28th, 5.30 – 6 pm, and the second on March 4th at 5.30 – 6 pm.

Lower Body Burst will be cancelled on March 4^th for the meditation session.

The class is FREE for members, and non-members can join for £5 per class.
