Meditation – Yoga is a pursuit that attracts many people who are both spiritually inclined and spiritually aware. At Symphisis Yoga we have recognized this through our associated Spiritual activities with Ian and Pearl Rogers. As an ongoing part of that connection we offer meditation classes with Ian Rogers. The meditation is spiritually based and guided. The aim is to connect with your guides and receive access to information they wish to share about relevant issues in our lives. Those attending Ian’s meditation agree that it is a rich, deeply personal and uplifting experience with a direct relevance to daily life. Come along and enjoy.
