What People Say About Jelena’s Meditation classes

“I have read a lot about meditation and understand intellectually some of the benefits that it can provide but have never experienced these benefits directly.The meditation workshop is a wonderful way to experience the deep state of relaxation and self awareness that the practice of meditation can provide. I was introduced to different breathing exercises that helped me to connect to the center of my being and to let go of my mind chatter and emotional frustrations. An incredible aspect of this workshop is a technique called Yoga Nidra in which you are guided into a deep state of relaxation, healing and self awareness by working with your energetic body. This was a highly valuable experience and has encouraged me to believe in the benefits of meditation and to incorporate it as part of my life.”
Francoise Balthazar- Actor

For me, the breathing exercises are particularly helpful for relaxation and a better quality of sleep. I especially appreciated the chakra class, finding it extremely informative, one we can each relate to on an individual basis. I look forward to the next meditation workshop!” Linda Borris – Realtor

I have wanted to make meditation a part of my day and taking Jelena’s meditation workshop has given me the opportunity to explore what benefits following a daily meditation would give me. Jelena’s magical voice sets the tone for relaxing and her profound words guide me to connect with a deeper part of myself where healing and peace can be accessed. As a bonus, I found that it helped me with decisions I needed to make–they came easily and from the highest aspect of myself. i am grateful for this meditation workshop and look forward to the next one!!

While I’ve tried meditation before and was familiar with its proven benefits to one’s physical, emotional, and mental health, the meditation workshop at Bliss has provided a truly eye-opening, transforming experience. I would recommend this workshop to anyone – from experienced yoga students to those who simply wish to connect to their true selves, relieve stress, learn more about meditation and hope to incorporate this amazing practice into their lives. Jelena has been a  wonderful teacher providing her guidance along the way, making each of the weekly sessions a very much anticipated event. Our final class was only last week, and I find myself missing it already! Anya K, PR Professional
