What are Students saying?
I enrolled in this course because I was stressed and had trouble sleeping. What helped me the most was the creation of a habit, the constant follow-up, and the calm atmosphere of the classroom. I now practise at home on a regular basis. As a result of regular practice, I can now take a step back from difficult events and I can also use the tools I learned to calm my breath.

Rediscovering the pleasure of breathing
We can easily identify when we are worried about something just by observing our breath. When we worry, our minds accelerate and our breath hyperventilates. If we are really good at it, we can cause ourselves a panic attack. So here you will learn how to cut the anxiety at its root by bringing your awareness to your breath and working to quiet the breath.

MEET THE INSTRUCTOR
Maria Miguel Ribeiro PhD
Helping People to Feel the joy of a quiet mind
My search for peace and silence started in 2010. I longed for peace and liberation from the oppression of my own mind. The journey lead me to meet to study with great masters.
The timeless wisdom shared by these masters and their lineage of teachers inspired and transform my own life. From an academic researcher working on sustainability to become an avid practitioner of yoga and meditation.
Today i am passionate about sharing these teachings. I inspire seekers to discover the bliss of a quiet mind and the pure inner joy that results from this work.
