The beginning of a New Year is a potent time to pause from our daily pursuits, reflect on our personal goals and send out heartfelt prayers for the spiritual upliftment of all beings. Swami Vimalananda will offer a message of inspiration and lead us in chanting mantras dedicated to world peace followed by meditation. The stillness of meditation allows us to enter the New Year charged with a natural sense of Oneness

8:00 pm – 9:00 pm Guided Reflection and Inspiration

Evening Meditation: A Seven-Night Journey

Seven evenings. Different practices. One intention. Finish the day with calm.

New to meditation and keen to explore different techniques to quiet a busy mind at the end of the day? Already experienced and looking to strengthen your evening practice with the support of a group?

Recent Australian research suggests that newer meditators may experience benefits more quickly, while for experienced meditators, the frequency of practice can have a powerful effect. The research also found that reported benefits from meditation apps may be significantly overstated.We often intend to practice at the end of the day, but somehow an excuse appears, or we simply feel too tired. Coming together as a committed group creates the encouragement and accountability to make time for ourselves.

Join us for seven evenings of exploration and practice.
Each evening will begin with a simple physical release to let go of tension (no mat required) followed by a short therapeutic technique for releasing emotions and then a different meditation practice.

Whether you’re completely new to meditation or have an established practice, you’ll find something to inspire, support and encourage you to continue beyond these seven evenings.

Each session will be recorded and shared for 2 weeks with enrolled participants. Early enrollment recommended for the whole course, 7 sessions.


I’m Caroline Giles, a recently retired internationally certified Yoga Therapist and senior Yoga Teacher. I completed all levels of Integral Yoga Teacher Training at Yogaville and have been mentored by Swami Asokananda for over a decade. I live in Australia and owned a small business and private Studio, Experience Yoga. There I was inspired to teach practices of yoga for health, well-being, wholeness and mindful living. I am passionate about the scientific evidence as well as the lived experience and benefits from meditation. My students were the everyday person like you and me. They came to create strength, vitality, inner peace and courage in their life through yoga and meditation.
