Yoga & Meditation Course

Hello Everyone,

I would like to inform you that the Yoga & Meditation class will not be held on Tuesday, September 2, at 5:00 p.m. We will be taking a week's break, as the venue will be closed during our class time due to restricted hours for the Mid-Semester Break.

Our next weekly class will take place on:
**Tuesday, September 9, from 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM** Evison Lounge, First Floor, OUSA Clubs & Societies Centre, 84 Albany Street, Dunedin.

During this break, you may find it beneficial to develop a home yoga and meditation practice. You can start with some of the postures we do in class. If you have time constraints, consider focusing on one of the standing postures and doing eight rounds, which is sufficient for a daily practice.

To assist you with meditation, I have included a sound recording that you can chant or listen to before your practice. It can also serve as calming background music throughout your day.

You can find additional tunes on YouTube by searching for "baba nam kevalam," which is a powerful universal mantra.

We wish you a relaxing week's break and hope you return feeling refreshed!

Love and peace,

Didi and Jiivan
