Craig Williams Yoga Meditation and Mindfulness

Craig Williams Yoga Meditation and Mindfulness I am a teacher of Zen-based Yoga, meditation and mindfulness based in beautiful South East Cornwall

I have a long and varied history in movement, from martial arts from childhood to the present. I ran a gym in Central Bristol for a few years and I've been practising yoga for around 25 years. After developing a more regular practice in recent years I trained as a meditation and mindfulness teacher last year under Zen master Julian Daizan Skinner and have recently completed my yoga teacher training with Daizan.

Greetings from Estonia 🇪🇪

I’m here in Estonia studying the kriya yoga of the ancient Himalayan yogi Babaji— a path rooted in an ancient lineage and centred on movement, breath, awareness, and inner stillness.

For those unfamiliar, Mahavatar Babaji is regarded in the yogic tradition as a timeless Himalayan yogi who revived and reintroduced Kriya Yoga to the modern world. His teachings were brought into wider awareness through Lahiri Mahasaya and later shared globally, most famously in the book Autobiography of a Yogi. The practice itself is less about belief and more about direct experience — working with the breath and nervous system to cultivate clarity, presence, and insight.

It’s been great reconnecting with yogis I first met in Le Mans at a retreat last summer — a reminder that while the practice is deeply personal, the journey is shared.

Looking forward to the days ahead of discipline, learning, and going deeper into something that continues to unfold over time.

More to come 🙏

Today,(April 14), I pause to reflect on the 76th anniversary of the passing of Ramana Maharshi — a sage whose life was a living answer to the question:

Who am I?

Born in 1879 in South India, Ramana Maharshi had no formal spiritual training. At just 16 years old, he experienced a sudden and profound awakening. Faced with an intense fear of death, he turned inward and asked deeply, “What is it that dies?”

Lying still, as if his body were a co**se, he realised — directly, not intellectually — that he was not the body, not the mind, but the awareness behind it all. In that moment, the sense of a separate “self” dissolved.

Soon after, he left home and travelled to the sacred mountain Arunachala, where he lived in silence for years. People began to gather around him, drawn not by teachings full of philosophy, but by his presence — still, grounded, and deeply peaceful.

His core guidance was simple:
Turn inward. Ask, “Who am I?”

It’s a question I’ve sat with for a long time. Not just as an idea, but as a practice — through stillness, through stripping away layers I once believed were “me.” Roles, stories, identities… all gently seen through.

In that inquiry, there are moments — glimpses — where the mind falls silent and something deeper reveals itself. In Zen, this is often called kensho — a direct seeing into one’s true nature.

Kensho isn’t about becoming something new. It’s about recognising what has always been here.

These glimpses may come and go, but their value is profound. They shift something fundamental. They loosen the grip of ego and bring a quiet clarity that carries into everyday life.

Ramana’s life reminds us that awakening isn’t reserved for the few — it’s available in the simple, honest turning inward.

On this day, I’m grateful — for the teachings, for the inquiry, and for every glimpse of truth along the way.

If this resonates, take a moment today:
Sit quietly…
Ask gently…
Who am I? Who is reading this?

And listen.

At Friday night yoga class at MBT Fitness we reflected on the Hindu monkey God Lord Hanuman, as it was his birthday on the day before. His attributes are strength, courage and devotion. The yoga practice was strength focused poses including warrior flow Virabhadrasana Vinyasa and a pose that requires some courage, the crow Kakasana. Devotion was shown by the yogis that wanted a class on a Good Friday.
Thank you.

WITHDRAWAL

In the period immediately after quitting a habit, floating can alleviate some on the pain and instead allow you to feel pleasure.

The science behind this is that floating reduces anxiety related biochemicals such as norepinephrine which are released in large quantities during withdrawal.

🌸 Hanuman Jayanti Reflections 🌸

Today we celebrate Hanuman Jayanti, the birth of Hanuman, the revered Monkey God in Hindu tradition. Hanuman is known for his strength, courage, and unwavering devotion. He is celebrated for his loyalty, selfless service, and the ability to overcome challenges with focus and determination.

Even if you don’t follow Hinduism, there are universal lessons we can take from Hanuman’s example:

Strength – cultivating inner resilience in body and mind.
Devotion – dedicating ourselves wholeheartedly to our practice, purpose, or values.
Courage – facing fears and obstacles with determination.

Today is a reminder that the qualities Hanuman embodies are timeless and can inspire our yoga, meditation, and daily life.

✨ Take a moment to reflect on your inner strength and devotion today. ✨
