70 Meditation Supervisor: Liz Visteen A very special class where the body stays still and mind works out. This class will teach a few meditation techniques to practice at home. Though the meditation is practiced alone, these classes will help you sit in a group and practice Meditation to learn the techniques to co-exist. Several techniques will be introduced to calm the mind and manage stress and other health issues. Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or a beginner these classes will help you grow inside as well as together with the group. Mantra "Om" will be key sound of the class apart from the sounds of a bronze bowl. Classes will be guided most of the times to keep you on the track. Practitioners have noticed great benefits of Meditation physiologically, psychologically level as well as at the spiritual level.
