Meditation class for commuters

A meditation class will begin in Woy Woy in September to teach commuters how to de-stress and improve their well-being.

The classes will begin on Tuesday, September 6, with three classes held a week on Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays.

Bright Life director Ms Alison Jose said she hoped people could put what they learn into practice by using guided meditation recordings on their train journey.

"By using their commuting time to their advantage and meditating for 10 or 20 minutes travelling to and from work, these commuters will make profound positive life changes," said Ms Jose.

"Meditation is the greatest health insurance of all as it promotes happiness, well-being and improves your experience of life and physical health."

After meditating for over 10 years and commuting for even more years, Ms Jose said she knew that to be able to find the time to meditate was difficult.

Alison has a certificate in meditation teaching and holistic counselling, as well as a certificate as a yoga Instructor.

During her weekly meditation classes, she will teach four different styles of meditation, which are designed to remove stress from the mind and body and to motivate you into creating more positive opportunities for yourself.

On Tuesday evenings, students will meditate at the Boathouse Waterfront Restaurant in Koolewong overlooking Brisbane Waters.

On Fridays, commuters can meditate at a 6.30pm class at Woy Woy CWA Hall and, on Saturdays, at a 9.45am class at the Peninsula Community Centre.
