Grounded: Learning To Sit, Breathe, And Be, Meditation For Beginners

With Anna Langston

This course offers a short and simple introduction to the foundational practices of meditation, designed to help you return to yourself and meet life with greater presence. Over three days, you’ll explore three key elements: your body, your breath, and your mind. Rather than aiming for perfection or control, this course encourages a gentle, curious relationship with your own experience. Whether you’re completely new to meditation or simply looking to reconnect, you’ll learn to approach the present moment with kindness and awareness.

Anna Langston
France

I’m a Yoga Teacher, Somatic Coach, Yoga Therapist, and proud mum to two wonderfully spirited young daughters — plus our endlessly energetic border collie, Heidi, who keeps us all moving. My journey into yoga and somatic practices has been shaped by curiosity, challenge, motherhood, and a deep desire to live and share a life that feels embodied, present, and connected. With over a decade of teaching experience, more than 1,000 hours of teacher training, and time spent studying in traditional ashrams across the East — including at KPJAYI in Mysore — my approach blends ancient wisdom with modern, evidence-informed practices. I’m a registered Yoga Therapist and soon-to-be certified Somatic Coach, with advanced training in postnatal recovery and a deep interest in using embodied practices to support and empower. At the heart of everything I share is the breath — a simple, powerful anchor that helps us soften back into ourselves. I believe when we create space to listen to the body, when we move with awareness, and breathe with intention, we begin to shift — gently, but profoundly.

Lesson 1

Finding Your Seat And Grounding Your Body

Welcome to Day 1. Today, we begin by finding our seat — we will look at different ways to sit and find alignment in the body. Paying attention to finding a balance between comfort and ease along with awareness.

Lesson 2

Your Connection To Your Breath

In today’s lesson, we’ll explore the breath — and why it plays such an important role in meditation. We'll take a moment to feel your breath as it is right now. Notice how it flows, and how it might be reflecting your energy or emotional state in this moment. The breath is more than just air moving in and out — it’s a powerful tool. You can use it to shift your energy, calm your mind, and reconnect with yourself, right here and now. We’ll also briefly touch on the yogic understanding of the nadis — subtle energy channels through which life force, or prana, is said to flow.

Lesson 3

How To Anchor The Wandering Mind

Today, we’ll explore the use of mantra — and how it can help anchor the mind during meditation. Mantras offer the mind something steady to rest on, especially when thoughts are scattered or restless. By repeating a word or phrase, we give manas — the thinking mind — a rhythm to follow, gently drawing it back from distraction. This practice isn’t about silencing the mind completely, but about creating space between who we are and what we think. As we work with mantra, we begin to step back from our identification with the mind, and instead, rest in the deeper awareness of simply being.

Lesson 4

Bringing It All Together

In this final session, we’ll bring together everything we’ve explored — body, breath, and mind — into a simple, unified practice. This is your chance to sit with the full experience of meditation, using the tools you've learned to ground yourself, return to the present, and rest in awareness. No pressure, no perfection — just you, as you are.
