All the obvious magic you will learn in twelve weeks!

Obvious Magic is a great meditation class both for beginners and experienced meditators. During twelve weeks we will go on an epic adventure! Adventure of discovering who you truly are.
You will learn the science behind how meditation works, and how your body and mind can benefit from consistent meditation practice. We will learn how to be kind and not take life so seriously every day 😊
We are all very different, and gravitate towards various music, food, video games or exercise. And that’s why in this class we introduce quite a few meditation techniques – so you can find your own practice, the one that you will enjoy and will want to practice every day. We will learn many different tools and ways you can meditate, from mindfulness and loving-kindness to working with energy and mindful movements exercises of Qigong.
Like-minded community is one of the pillars of a sustainable life-long spiritual growth. And that’s why we will be practicing in a safe and kind environment with other curious students just like you, under guidance of an experienced teacher, who is always here to support and inspire you! Hopefully these new relationships will blossom into friendships in these three months.
