Mindfulness meditation
Guided mindfulness sits that train your attention: noticing the breath, the body and sounds, then letting thoughts pass. The morning sit is a good start to a working day.
Small, friendly mindfulness classes for complete beginners and regulars alike. Sit on a cushion or a chair, in the studio or from your sofa. Your first class is free.
Every class is led by a trained mindfulness teacher, with plain instructions and no chanting. Come to whichever suits your week.

Guided mindfulness sits that train your attention: noticing the breath, the body and sounds, then letting thoughts pass. The morning sit is a good start to a working day.

Simple techniques you can use anywhere: slow belly breathing, box breathing and longer out-breaths that help your body settle. You'll leave with one to practise at home.

We're on the first floor of an old cutlery works, a five-minute walk from Shalesmoor tram stop. There's a lift, a step-free entrance and tea afterwards, and the room is kept for mindfulness practice only, so it stays quiet.



Mindfulness means paying attention to what is happening right now, in your body, your breath and your surroundings, without judging it. You practise it in a class the way you practise anything: a little at a time, with someone to guide you.
Yes. Most people at their first class have never tried. The teacher explains everything, and a wandering mind is normal: noticing that it wandered is the practice.
No. About half the class sits on chairs. For deep relaxation you lie on a mat, and we have extra cushions for knees and backs.
Comfortable clothes and warm socks. We provide mats, cushions, chairs and blankets.
You get a video link by email when you book. Your camera can stay off. Recordings are available for 7 days to Unlimited members.
Many people find regular practice helps them handle stress, but classes are not a treatment for anxiety or depression. If you're struggling, please talk to your GP too, and tell your teacher anything you'd like them to know.
