School of Meditation

“Starting, or coming back to a practice is often the hardest part of it all. That’s why having space and surrounding ourselves with mindful ecosystems is crucial.

At first, I thought I was investing time and money to add a new skill to my belt. But the real value of joining the School of Meditation was having access to an ever growing community of people who meditate.”

Ka reflects on her journey since starting meditation 10+ years ago and being a member of the School of Meditation since 2023.

Which quote resonates most with you today, 1, 2, or 3?

When we meditate, we sit on the shoulders of giants.

Here at the School of Meditation we take our teachings from the Shankaracharya of Jyotir Math, Northern India.

We have shared the teachings of this lineage since 1961.

This tradition has preserved the science of stillness for centuries.

We bring that same depth to our classes.

If you're ready to explore the depth of yourself, DM us to get started.

Ready to look beneath the surface? This place might be for you.

Since 1961, the School of Meditation has been a home for those seeking a deeper connection to themselves.

Rooted in the profound philosophy of Advaita Vedanta, we offer a practical technique to move from the friction of modern life into a baseline of peace.

Whether you join us at Holland Park Avenue in London or in Amsterdam, Patras, Basingstoke, Bournemouth, Chelmsford, Sheffield, Wi******er, the invitation is the same: find the stillness within.

Advaita Vedanta teaches us that Today is the doorway to the stillness within.

In the rush of a London week, it’s so easy to live three days ahead in our calendars or two days behind in our worries.

As the Tao of Pooh reminds us, the only place where life is actually happening is right here.

Take a breath. It’s Today. Your favourite day. ✨

December doesn’t have to be a rush to finish, fix or reinvent. 🕯️In Advaita, the invitation is simpler: return.
To presence. To awareness. To the Self that is always here.

Keep these words close for the days when you feel pulled outward and need a gentler way to end the year.

“Arriving stressed, I leave feeling at peace.”
Her story is one of many we hear in our community. Different lives, different backgrounds, but a shared discovery that stillness changes how you show up in the world.
