Full deAdam and Sabina are two passionate yoga and meditation teachers based in Totnes. They have fully dedicated their lives to the pursuit of yoga (union). This included two and a half years of full time study and practice of Hatha Yoga, Karma Yoga, and sitting many meditation retreats at Hridaya Yoga. They marked the end of this period by completing the 500 hour teacher training course and taught Hatha Yoga classes at Hridaya and other holistic centers across Mexico.
They have recently returned to England and are very excited to be sharing the joys of yoga with the communities of Totnes and wider Devon. Learn more about Sabina and Adam here.tails coming soon! |
Hridaya Meditation is a practice intended for the revelation of our true nature. The technique consists of three main attitudes:
These three attitudes are tools that are used as a way to reveal a deeper dimension of our being.
Connecting to this dimension of love and unity, naturally fosters a sense of openness. We open more and more to life and to the present moment.
We can experience more kindness, acceptance, selflessness, compassion and love for ourselves and each other.
Practitioners of Hridaya Meditation often experience a profound feeling of ‘coming back home’ to who we really are, beyond who we perceive ourselves to be as individuals. With this there can be a deep sense of calm, wholeness and contentment.
What to bring: We find it most comfortable to use a yoga mat or blanket, with a couple of cushions to sit on. The mat or blanket takes some pressure off the knees and the cushions help to raise the hips above the knees which allows us to sit more comfortably. If you have a meditation bench you are welcome to use this. Wear comfortable and warm clothing, and bring a blanket to place over your knees or shoulders if you wish, (this is especially helpful in the cooler months).
- The awareness of the Heart centre
- The awareness of short pauses after inhalation and exhalation
- Self-enquiry

Through his calm and loving presence, Adam creates a space where one really feels at home and his classes mirror the depth he has reached in his own practice. Such a gift to be able to go on this journey inside with him. Sabina emanates so much love and motherly care in her classes and through this really makes it easy for her students to go deeper and fully let go, meeting the present moment in a loving embrace." - Eva R.M
