Meditation isn’t just a spiritual practice—it’s a powerful tool for mental, emotional, and even physical well-being. Whether you’re a seasoned practitioner or just starting out, the benefits show up in both subtle and significant ways. When we pause together at the end of class taking our savasana we are just ‘being’ , not usually meditating, but yoga practice is an excellent gateway to meditation and all it’s benefits.

Albert Einstein once said,
“I think 99 times and find nothing. I stop thinking, swim in silence, and the truth comes to me.”
He also said “I did not discover light, I meditated on it until it revealed itself to me.”
That’s the essence of meditation—creating space for clarity, insight, and peace and understanding to emerge, not by force, but by stillness.
If you’ve been thinking about trying it, start small. Even 2 minutes a day can open a door.
