How We Practise at Tiroana
At Tiroana, meditation and yoga are practised in a simple, grounded way — with an emphasis on awareness, learning, and connection rather than performance or achievement.
There are many ways meditation and yoga can be offered, and each serves different needs. Here, the focus is on creating a calm, inclusive space where people can slow down, listen inward, and develop practical skills that support steadiness in everyday life.
Meditation and practice over performance
Rather than focusing on how a practice looks, attention is gently guided toward how it feels.
Classes are designed to support awareness of breath, sensation, attention, effort, and ease — inviting students to learn from their own inner experience rather than trying to keep up or copy shapes. Movement is used as one supportive tool within practice, alongside stillness, breath awareness, and meditation.
Gentle guidance and choice
Teaching at Tiroana is responsive and relational. At times, practices are guided together; at other moments, verbal cues and individual support help students find what feels appropriate for their body.
Choice is central. Resting, modifying, or pausing is always welcome, and listening to the body is considered part of the practice.
Breath, awareness, and stillness
Classes at Tiroana offer elements of yoga philosophy, breath awareness (pranayama), and meditation. These are introduced gently and accessibly, at a pace that supports understanding rather than overwhelm.
Every class begins with grounding and arrival, allowing the nervous system to settle before movement or stillness unfolds. Over time, this supports a deeper sense of connection between mind and body.

A small, respectful place within the community
Yoga and movement are offered in many forms within the local community, each serving different intentions. Tiroana exists as one option — for those drawn to a slower, more inward, and reflective approach.
This philosophy isn’t about doing more or becoming something different. It’s about creating space to return to what’s already here — with curiosity, care, and respect.
