Why Tiroana?
A sanctuary for meditation, yoga, and mindful living.
01 Connection
Tiroana is a place to pause and reconnect — with your breath, your body, and the community around you. Whether in stillness, gentle movement, or shared circle, you are invited to return to yourself with presence and authenticity.
02 Health & Wellbeing Benefits
Just one hour of mindful practice each week can make a difference. Our classes are designed to calm the nervous system, reduce stress, improve sleep, and support emotional balance — helping you feel more at ease in daily life.
03 Resilience & Inner Strength
Life will always bring change and challenge. At Tiroana, meditation and yoga become resources you can draw on, building inner steadiness and clarity. These practices nurture the quiet strength to meet life with compassion and confidence.

PAUSE and BEGIN: Meditation Foundations Workshop
A practical, welcoming workshop for anyone wanting to begin, return to practice or deepen their understanding of meditation.
PAUSE & BEGIN is held twice each year and offers space to learn more about meditation in a supportive, relaxed setting. It is for those who are completely new, people who have been practising at home, and current PAUSE students who would like to revisit the foundations, ask questions and build confidence in their practice.
Meditation does not require an empty mind, perfect stillness or a certain way of sitting. This workshop is about understanding the practice, trying it for yourself, and finding simple ways to make it feel realistic in everyday life.
What you will explore
During the workshop, you will learn about:
what meditation is and what it is not
a brief history of meditation
different styles and approaches to practice
seated, chair and lying-down options
what to do when the mind feels busy or distracted
using breath, body awareness and the senses as anchors
simple ways to continue meditation at home and in class
You will be guided through shorter sections of meditation practice along the way, including grounding, body awareness and attention training. This means you are not simply sitting through one long meditation; you are learning how the pieces fit together.
Who is this for?
PAUSE & BEGIN is for you if you are:
curious about meditation but unsure where to start
practising at home and wanting more structure or understanding
returning after time away
nervous about joining a group meditation class
already attending PAUSE and wanting to learn more
looking for practical skills, support and a sense of community
You do not need previous experience. You do not need a quiet mind. You are welcome exactly as you are.
What is included
Your booking includes:
a 90-minute small-group workshop
practical teaching and guided meditation experiences
a printed Meditation Foundations Guide
two recorded guided meditations to keep
four weeks of follow-up support by email
one complimentary PAUSE meditation class, valued at $13
Your complimentary PAUSE class is valid for 14 days after the workshop. It is a gentle next step to continue your practice in the studio and experience the regular rhythm of PAUSE.
Continuing after the workshop
The intention of PAUSE & BEGIN is to give you a clear foundation, not another thing to complete perfectly.
You can revisit your guide, use the recordings at home, and attend your complimentary PAUSE class when you are ready. From there, you may choose to continue with regular PAUSE classes or simply carry the practices into your own life.
What to bring
Wear comfortable clothing and bring a water bottle, journal or extra layer if helpful.
Chairs, cushions, blankets and all meditation props are provided.
