Meditation has long been known as a technique to help bring mental and physical wellbeing into people's lives.
Phoenix Yoga Studios in Ringwood is now taking bookings for its Level 1 meditation course called Mindful Awareness.
The 2,500 year old practice known as meditation has been known to relieve stress, improve attention and memory, elevate creativity and assist people to develop more meaningful relationships. Deep healing and connection within can be some of the benefits of mindful awareness, all achievable through becoming attuned to thoughts and actions.
