Pilates is available on Tuesdays and Saturdays. You can view the timetable or book a class here.
Meditation
Meditation is our passion at The Well Nest. Our resident expert Hannah is a practicing Buddhist of more than ten years and a dedicated mindfulness practitioner and highly qualified and experienced in teaching meditation techniques from many traditions. You never need any experience to join a meditation class or course with The Well Nest; we make the practice as accessible as possible.
You can join Hannah online for meditation classes and courses (many of which are free) and you can visit The Well Nest Youtube channel for access to pre-recorded meditations. Take a look at the Timetable for upcoming sessions, ask about free meditations or subscribe to the newsletter by emailing [email protected] to be the first to know about upcoming sessions.
Mindfulness Courses
Mindfulness is a popular form of meditation arising from Buddhist practices of sitting with the busyness and discomfort of the mind to find inner peace. Mindfulness workshops are regularly held at The Well Nest focusing on particular theme such as; reducing anxiety, finding happiness, letting go. Workshops usually take place at weekends and last approximately two hours. Workshops are simultaneously held online and in person to make the teachings as accessible as possible.
There are also opportunities to take more of an in-depth approach to mindfulness study by joining an eight week ‘Mindfulness for Life’ course. This course runs once per year currently and offers a deep dive into mindfulness, the nature of the mind, our compassionate nature (and how to cultivate that for self care) and wisdom. The course takes a look at how mindfulness can be applied practically to everyday life and over the course of 8 weeks, we develop the skills to have mindfulness practices available to us no matter what arises over the course of life.
No previous experience is necessary to join mindfulness workshops – beginners and experienced meditators are always welcome to join the sessions. Take a look at the timetable to view current workshops that are available, or sign up to the newsletter by emailing [email protected] to be the first to know when new courses and sessions are launched.
