It is helpful if you already have a meditation practice, as those with a regular practice will have developed a level of concentration and focus that can help. However, if you are keen and willing to give everything a try and offer 100%, then you are very welcome to participate!

It takes time to develop and grow these positive qualities within, so you will be encouraged to find a quiet space to practise in your own time, to try all the methods and do your best with them, but to go gently with yourself. You may like to try bringing different elements into your day at different times and continuing the practices at home will bring the greatest rewards.

How much does it cost and how long is it?

The course runs over four mornings from 10.30am to 1pm ish and costs £120

About Anne

Anne has been teaching for over 20 years and set up Create Harmony in 2013 in order to teach Yoga, Reiki and Meditation to help people heal, relax and unwind. She then went on to train in Zen Meditation and Mindfulness, Zen Yoga and Relaxation Therapy and Coaching. She uses all these skills to offer classes, workshops and courses to give people a toolkit of useful and practical methods for self-care and inner understanding.

She is passionate about helping people find the best way for them to live more mindfully creating more kindness, love and compassion.

She is keen to help people make friends with themselves, hold their challenges with gentleness and come back to a place of calmness, ease and flow.

We (Kim and Jools) feel that Anne is understanding and caring, 'real', down to earth and friendly - a perfect addition to our team.

"Anne is the gentlest tutor I have ever met. She will tailor all her classes/workshops to suit the individual which was important to me when recovering from a heart attack. Her teachings are now a way of life for me, be it Ki-flow yoga, meditation, mindfulness or Zen practice - but I never forgo a class when I can make it, because there is always something to be learned from Anne. Compassion is at the top of Anne's list, and this is so obvious when you are in her company".
