VU Staff can join this course at a special rate. Scroll down for more info or visit our staff page.

Meditation is simply about coming closer to yourself and discovering your inner reality. When you are centered, you are free from physical and mental stress, as well as from negative emotions. In this state, you experience a deep sense of contentment, or even bliss.

In this introductory course, you'll receive the essential tools to begin your meditation journey. Each session will introduce a new technique, along with practical tips to help you release tension and blockages in both body and mind.

You'll also learn how to integrate meditation into your daily routine and gradually build a consistent practice throughout the week. With regular meditation, you'll start to experience the benefits: increased awareness, emotional balance, and reduced stress. So try to keep practicing, it really makes a difference!
