As part of DION’s mental health month initiative, we invite all temporary employees in Ålesund to a free introductory course in Kriya Yoga meditation on Thursday the 10th of November at 11:15 to 12:45. This is a meditative (non-physical) yoga practice that is suitable for everyone, regardless of physical shape.
Kriya Yoga meditation is based on attention and breath: an authentic method from ancient yoga philosophy and tradition. Through the meditation practice, you will experience a state of mental silence,
which is the basis for inner peace and self-realisation. Kriya Yoga can be easily integrated into your daily life, and, by calming down your mind, it will bring you expanded attention and presence in the “here and now”. The method is very efficient for reducing stress, strengthening concentration, and bringing out the natural inner joy and satisfaction in life.
The course is taught down-to-earth by our very own Julia V. Bondeli – a researcher at NTNU in Ålesund who has practised Kriya Yoga meditation daily for over 13 years. Having endured stressful years as a PhD candidate and post-doctor, she is aware of the struggles that young researchers face and appreciative of the benefits of meditation for their mental health and well-being. In the course, you will learn simple techniques that will enable you to practice meditation independently. After the course, you can also join weekly guided meditation sessions on campus.
The course is held at Kahytten (next to Smia in Sundebygget: https://www.ntnu.no/alesund/innovasjonshub).
Programme:
11:15-11:30: refreshments (tea, waffles, and fruit)
11:30-12:45: instruction and meditation
The course is free. Please register for participation here: https://nettskjema.no/a/373654. The maximum number of participants on the course is 25.
If you have signed up but are prevented from participating, please inform Diana Giovanni Magnano(diana.g.magnano@ntnu.no) as soon as possible to make your place available to interested others.
We are looking forward to seeing you!
