Course leader: Orla Beaton has been practising yoga and meditation for over 10 years. She teaches yoga in Perth & Kinross and co-facilitates the weekly mindfulness group, Poppy Seed Sangha, at the Westbank Centre in North Fife. Orla is passionate about sharing mindfulness with others and encouraging them to develop their own ongoing meditation practice. In the past 5 years, Orla credits Buddhist mindfulness, and in particular the teachings of Thich Naht Hahn, for the increasing sense of peace and happiness that she feels in her life and has experienced first-hand the healing and transformative aspects of this wonderful practice.
