Stillness within through meditation
Curious about trying out meditation or different meditation techniques? Then this program is for you. During six weeks you'll be exploring six different guided meditations under the guidance of Eleonora Ramsby Herrera, yoga- and meditation teacher. You'll receive insights on meditation as a practice, different techniques as well as finding a deeper connection to your stillness and self.
Purpose of the program
The purpose of the program is to offer you a variation of basic meditation practices that serve to cultivate a deeper sense of awareness and compassion towards yourself. This while supporting you in connecting with the present moment, and your inner soul- and heart wisdom.
Who is this program for?
The program is suitable for beginners as well as more experienced practitioners who wish to explore a contemporary and alternative approach to mindfulness meditation. It is for you who prefer to be guided through meditations that are structured around a particular theme of exploration, and that include breath, body scans, image work, hand gestures (mudras) and mental affirmations.
Program overview
The program includes six sessions that follow a progressive order. We suggest you practice one session per week, and explore it 2-3 times, before moving on to the next session. The focus and practice of each week:
- Week 1: Body and breath awareness – including introduction to the program
- Week 2: Rest in seat of self
- Week 3: Harness strength and focus
- Week 4: Tapping into soul wisdom through imagination
- Week 5: Cultivate trust and patience
- Week 6: Loving Kindness Meditation
Keep in mind
To make the most out of your meditation practice there are some things to keep in mind:
- Ensure you feel comfortable enough in your body and posture to remain still during the practice. If you at any point experience physical discomfort during the meditation, then know that you do not have to endure that. Instead, you can mindfully adapt your posture and return to focusing on your practice once you’ve established a more comfortable position.
- Feel free to use whatever extra support you need to help support your posture, whether that is a chair, an extra pillow or blanket.
- Some days are easier, some days are more difficult. Acceptance and compassion are your best friends!
- It is a process. Take small steps and try your best to be patient with yourself.
- You are practicing for the sake of practicing, not to achieve an outcome.

Props used in the program
In part of the classes in the program different props are being used. We’re using them to strengthen the body, gain contact with the muscles, and to modify different positions. The following props are suggested to be used:
- Bolster: In some of the classes, yoga bolsters, oblong cushions, are being used. You can choose to use regular cushions instead, for example, by rolling the cushions together and putting a strap around them. On Yogobe Store, you’ll find different variants of bolsters.
- Block: Yoga blocks that are being used in the program can be replaced with thicker books. You’ll find different yoga blocks on Yogobe Store.
- Belt. Also called a strap, can be replaced with a bathrobe belt. Take part of different variants of belts on Yogobe store.
- Blanket. You can choose any kind of blanket. Although a yoga blanket is a bit heavier and a bit more stable than regular blankets, which can be useful for your practice.
- Yoga mat. A good yoga mat is a great investment, both for your yoga practice as well as for your workouts.
- Chair. In some of the classes, you’ll need a chair. It’s recommended to choose a more stable chair, but use a chair you find suitable from your home.
