“By the practice of meditation you will find that you are carrying within your heart a portable paradise.” – Paramahansa Yogananda
Why meditate?
To go beyond the chatter of the mind and explore our true nature, the true essence of who we are when we peel away the layers and labels we take on in everyday life.
Meditation is a process and Sarah will take you on a journey that incorporates:
- Gentle, effective movements to release tension from the body
- Breathing techniques to switch on the relaxation response and calm the mind
- Concentration exercises to train your mind and bring you into the present moment with full awareness
You will be guided through a number of meditation techniques that will empower you to take charge of your mind, enabling balance and inner calm and giving you tools to use in everyday life.
These are life-changing techniques that don’t rely on technology or the latest gadget to take you to a quiet place. Once you have learnt these practices they are yours for life and available to you at all times.

Meditation Class
The weekly meditation classes are designed for those who want to establish a regular, structured practice and share it with like-minded people. Sarah will guide you on your meditative journey and offer support to help you achieve inner balance. The weekly class is aimed at those who have completed the Beginner Course (see below) or have some meditation experience as there are sequences and techniques used that you will need to keep up with. If you have never meditated or aren’t sure if the class is for you, book a private session with Sarah to catch up before you start.
Beginner Course
This is a course for total beginners who want to learn how to meditate. These courses now run in a private studio space in Australind and are limited to only seven people so you are getting a very personal learning experience. In this six-week course you will learn:
- How to re-balance your energy with the prana kriyas (potent breathing and movement techniques that transform)
- The art of deep relaxation
- How to park your body for your personal optimal sitting position either in a chair or on the floor
- A variety of concentration techniques
- How to connect with your heart and create heart coherence
- Powerful breathing techniques
Comprehensive handouts and recordings are included so you have the resources to continue your practices in your daily life. Each session concludes with the opportunity to share in a cup of tea and chocolate.

Intermediate Course
Once you’ve established a routine with what you have learnt in the beginner course and you are comfortable with the breathing techniques taught in that course, you may like to move on to deeper, more challenging practices. In the intermediate course, you will:
- Deepen your experience of the prana kriyas
- Learn more advanced breathing techniques such as the Three Fold Breath
- Deepen your understanding of the koshas, the energy layers of our being, enabling you to manage your energy input and output
- Learn the powerful Shanti Prana Dru Meditation practice
At this level you begin to sit for longer periods of time with less guidance and visualisation instruction, allowing you to spend longer in the still point and feel deeper effects.
The next intermediate course will run on demand. Please get in touch if you would like to register your interest.
