Embodied Stillness: an introduction to Meditation. With Suryadashini

Do you love moving your body but find yourself squirming after just a few minutes of sitting still? You want to find that quiet place within yourself—if only you had the right tools to get there.

Meditation often leaves us bored, frustrated or convinced it's 'not our thing.' The common culprit? We're trying to use our heads when we actually need to drop into our bodies.

This two-hour meditation masterclass tackles the real challenges: posture problems, mental distractions and plain resistance to sitting still. Through linking movement to stillness, we'll learn a simple breathing practice and three-minute mindfulness break you can take anywhere. Most importantly, we'll explore your specific obstacles to establishing a seated practice and discover your next step toward finding that still centre—the place of deepest connection with yourself.

About Suryadashini

Suryadarshini (Surya) fuses Buddhist mindfulness and yoga asana, bringing kind awareness to both movement and stillness. She began practising yoga in 2004, and when she learned to meditate in 2008, her asana practice took on a new dimension—she has woven the two together ever since.

After completing her training with Bodhiyoga in 2012, she taught weekly classes and workshops in Norwich and now teaches annually on retreats at Dhanakosa, a Buddhist retreat center in Scotland. Ordained into the Triratna Buddhist Order in 2016, she received the name Suryadarshini, which means 'she who has the vision of the sun'.
