MINDFULNESS AND MEDITATION

MINDFULNESS

Mindfulness is our innate ability for presence, an ability to experience the richness and complexity of life with an ongoing sense of curiosity and spontaneity.

 

With our lives becoming increasingly more distracted and mentally demanding, causing stress, anxiety and overwhelm, Mindfulness Meditation provides a powerful tool that allows us to return to the stillness of the mind, teaching us how to cultivate a moment-to-moment intimacy with our experience. It is an essential skill for living a meaningful life.

 

I teach body and breath-based mindfulness meditations that helps quieten the mind, expand your sensory aliveness and deepens your self-awareness.

Our work together may include embodied movement and writing to support your practice.

HOW WE WORK

Private sessions take place at your convenience in the intimacy of your home.

Our initial, often 8 weeks or longer, commitment, provides me with a more detailed insight into your needs and objectives and allows me to tune into your process in a more subtle and individualised way.

Before we meet, I offer an initial 15 min phone/video call consultation. It is vital for me to make sure we are the right fit. We then schedule an introductory session to allow me to further understand your needs and create
bespoke weekly sessions designed to support you and your life.

It is my utmost wish for you to see and experience a tangible shift in your well-being within a short period of time. However, it is vital to understand that each process is unique; healing and growth cannot be rushed.
Our work together is a mutual commitment to the journey.

TESTIMONIALS

Incredibly passionate, energetic and empathetic.

Sharon

My husband was sceptical at first. He thought we would spend out time laying down and chanting. He was wrong. You adapt the classes to our bodies and push us. It is a good thorough workout, it’s tough sometimes, and yet you are also caring, encouraging and considerate.

You really focus on our individual needs and tailor classes to what will benefit us the most; challenge us in all the right ways with patience.

What I love about your classes is that they are really fluid, they feel very strong and feminine. They are classes guided by the principle of being embodied and connected to the sensations of the body.

My understanding of my body and breath has really developed and I have learnt to bring a fluidity and awareness to my movements as well as a deeper knowledge to tap into postures. You create a unique and enriching practice.

Her knowledge of yoga and of the variety she brings to every class is outstanding. I would highly recommend practising with Ashka.

Gone are my back and hip problems, now I feel much better and less prone to aches and pains in the old places. I would thoroughly recommend Ashka.

I truly appreciate your understanding of physiology and the body; it helps reassure us that you know what’s best for us especially when our bodies are feeling weak or injured.
