5–Minute Guided Meditation

This is a nice 5-minute meditation session that you can do alongside your usual Yoga practice as well as at the end of the day to unwind and relax.

Find a quiet place where you won’t be disturbed, and a comfortable position either sitting cross-legged with a separate cushion under your rear, ensuring that your back is straight, or laying down on your back with the palms facing up. Feel free to keep your eyes slightly open, or to gently close them to allow for full concentration.

 

 

~Enjoy!~
