Staying Safe & Well - Insight Timer

Clare McGinley, our Yoga Teacher talks about Insight Timer

There are a lot of Meditation and Mindfulness apps out there; in my quest to deal with stress and anxiety I have tried quite a few!

Insight Timer has thousands of free meditations/relaxation/mindfulness/yoga but it can be quite overwhelming to know where to start.

Here are some I have found helpful and why I like them:

Short Meditations

• Andrew Johnston – love his Scottish accent. It’s excellent for breathing and body scanning
• Tom Evans – a good morning meditation
• Loch Kelly – very yoga-based

Science-Based

• Celia Roberts – describes the effects on your brain. It’s great of meditations of you have a headache

Sleep and Waking

• Jennifer Piercy
• Yoga Nidra for Deep Sleep
• Morning – Waking One

Longer Contemplative

• John Siddique – has some short poetry reading in a very calming voice; great for relaxing and reflecting

Dealing With Pain

• Vidayamala Burch – is engaging and very accessible

Great for Children

• • Andy Hobson
