• Spend 10 minutes each day in a quiet place. Centre yourself - straight spine, soft belly. Make sure you are comfortable.

• Close your eyes and focus on your breathing. Just like we do in class. Focus on each breath and track it as it goes in and out. Notice your breathing and remember that if your mind wanders, you just silently say ‘wandering’ and bring all your attention back to your breathing.

• Let yourself sit, breathe and just ‘be’’.

• Doing this each day will help you stay calm, relaxed and peaceful - just like it does in class!
