What is Meditation?

The practice of meditation is about observing, taming and clearing the mind. Become a better version of yourself and live more harmoniously in all areas of your life.

It is a method that allows us to focus our attention to a particular phenomenon while filtering out everything else, also known as the noise.

Why Meditate?

Tapping into a meditative state of being assists in reducing emotional responses and promotes inner joy, reveals deep calm and peace, improves concentration, and gets you more in touch with yourself to make better daily decisions. When the obstacles in life are confronted with a serene mind, we live more happily.

Meditation Techniques and Styles

Learn various techniques to tap into your own inner currents and reveal your vital energy through a step by step approach. Learn to skillfully integrate meditation into your life and notice how each day unfolds with greater ease and clarity.

There are different styles of meditation. Some are designed around the act of observing or contemplating what surrounds you. Commonly referred to as mindfulness. Other styles are breath-based, where your breathing guides the process. 

Where Should I Meditate?

Some meditate in nature, others in a special dedicated space in their home. Certain activities can become described as meditative such as gardening. It is really about finding your voice and your style. The technique that speaks and makes sense to you. It is worth exploring different techniques before finding your own, and also to diversify. All meditation styles do not yield the same results or outcomes.

Spiritual wisdom meets material science

Laura Warf is someone I simply clicked with instantly. Her constant smile and positive demeanor make her classes both educational and fun. She always takes the time to make sure her students are heard and provides practical solutions and tips to all questions with care and professionalism. So, for those searching for a healthy online alternative, Laura's online yoga classes always leave me feeling relaxed and revitalized! As a therapist she is grounded, extremely knowledgeable of human mechanics, and highly intuitive. I searched a long time for the right therapist to help me work through years of body pain and I'm grateful to have found such a spiritually-wise one to assist me in this journey. To anyone seeking guidance on feeling better physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, I highly recommend Laura's caring and professional approach.

A New Perspective of Yoga

This video dialog has made clearer to me the real breadth of the yogic practice. It certainly goes well beyond my assumptions, based on sporadic attendance of yoga classes at the athletic club , focusing only on physical balance and flexibility (both of which are important, of course.) Thanks to both of you wonderful people for this opportunity.

you do a great job, you truly have mastered this.

I took a workshop of yours “Heart Rate Focused Riding”.

Since then I’ve instructed my regular classes as well as substituted for a few others (I’ve been instructing for 2 years now). I only do this stuff once per week or so. Other than that, I’m a computer guy; I do not work in fitness milieu. Humbly, I’ve got lots to learn about this stuff. I’ve taken several workshops but, for some reason, this one did it for me (and the people in my classes).

After your class, I revisited some aspects of my typical routine. I broke the routines down a little bit better technically (what exercise goes better with what music) and planned out each song a little better but, the biggest change was in what I try to communicate during the routine. I have a more complete intro, I talk about the usual posture and techniques. I have added more praise/compliments. I now use some imagery and now spend more time on describing what is coming up. I let them know about the upcoming exertions and let them know when and how long the recovery will be (in other words, don’t save energy in case there won’t be a recovery). I smile more, on purpose, and compliment the class on theirs. Man, is this contagious.

I’ve had more people come up to me after the class, regular classes and subs, than previously. Their compliments are things like “…not sure how but, I find myself putting more into your routines”.

From a regular (and friend) of many months now, I was told “Today, I really pushed hard, you were great today”. This was from a friend who seemed to never break a sweat before.

The praise feels great but, I know I must pass it on. I know as an instructor, feedback comes in small doses yet is so valuable since it feels good but, also since it affirms you’re heading in the right direction. I just wanted to say you do a great job, you truly have mastered this. Thank-you very much and keep it up!

Never have I felt so fulfilled both physically and mentally.

Laura, you are a goddess! Never have I felt so fulfilled both physically and mentally. You have opened doors for me that I didn’t even know existed. Your calming voice, positive attitude and clarity in explaining the great unknown made for a profound learning as well as spiritual experience. I feel ALIVE!

Thank you so much, you filled me up with all that is healing and wholesome!

Namaste, with love.
