Hello all,

are there any yoga/meditation fans out there who could direct me to any english speaking meditation courses in Zurich city?

I am a beginner to meditation, but would be interested more into Kudalini or Vipasana meditation style.

Any referrals/suggestions/recommendation would be very much appreciated.


cheers,

Vera

I thought 'Ommmmm' transcended language...?



(sorry... )

i know someone who does group/private lessons in kundalini yoga. he's very into spiritualism and mysticism as well, so if that sounds like it suits you...here's the website.

good luck!

So many classes (in my experience in dance) are run by English speaking teachers here in Zürich. Have you tryed contacting AIRYOGA or PLANETYOGA? A friend of mine, Olive, teaches in both places. They may have further info for you????

Thanks a lot...will give it a shot and hope this guy teaches in english also. Have you ever taken one of his classes by the way???

airyoga or planetyoga are too much for me, I mean the business/marketing side prevails to the spiritual one...but thanks for the tip

i don't do yoga myself so i haven't taken a class w/ him, but some friends of mind do...i know him personally and could see him being really good (plus he speaks English pretty much fluently!)

This is a way old thread, but perhaps still of interest to someone out there ...

Anyway, I can highly recommend the Vipassana Center located on Mont Soleil in Switzerland for anyone seriously interested in meditation. They offer intense 10 day silent retreats on a donation basis only. I attended one this past March and was blown away by the amazingness of it! You are woken each morning by gong at 4:30 am and meditate away in bliss until 9pm each evening. There are, of course, pauses and time to eat in between but anyone who goes should be prepared for some serious meditating time.

The instructions are given in English with translations in either German or French. Each evening there is a lecture by the master and participants may choose to listen in English or in their native language. All in all a very positive experience for me.

Ahh, such an old thread. Btw, if somebody wants to try some meditation, send me a pm, would be glad to give more information privately, not on the forum...

Yes there is a great woman in zurich, called Mahima. She is giving privat sessions and also group meditations on thursdays in the evening. You can find information on her website www.mahimasworld.com
