Meditation classes teach techniques for focusing the attention and settling the mind, usually seated and guided by a teacher. Styles range from breath awareness and body scans to loving-kindness, mantra-based and Buddhist traditions; many wellness centres also run guided relaxation and yoga nidra, done lying down. Classes are often followed by time for questions, which is where a good teacher earns their fee.
Regular meditation is linked to lower stress and better mood in a growing body of research, and it suits anyone who wants a quieter mind; no previous experience is needed. People with a history of trauma or severe mental illness should start gently and with an experienced teacher, as intense practice can sometimes bring up difficult feelings.
Drop-in classes of 45 to 75 minutes typically cost £8 to £18, and many Buddhist centres run donation-based sessions. One-to-one teaching costs £40 to £80 an hour, and day or weekend meditation workshops £50 to £200. Wear comfortable clothes; cushions, stools and chairs are provided.
