F.A.Q

Absolutely. Life changes can stir up deep emotions and sometimes leave you feeling ungrounded or overwhelmed.  

Meditation won’t “fix” things overnight, but it gives you practical tools to calm the nervous system, gain perspective, and reconnect with your inner strength.  

Our sessions are held with respect, acceptance, and compassion at the heart of everything. You’ll be supported in a space that honours your experience — no judgment, just presence. There is an agreement that anything that is shared in the room stays in the room and remains confidential.

I’ve designed my classes specifically for people navigating transitions — you're not alone, and you’re very welcome here.

Sharing is always optional. You’ll be invited to share any insights you discover, but it’s not essential. Many people find it helpful to listen and reflect quietly, and that’s perfectly valid.

To support your personal reflection, I’ll also give you space for writing notes and reflections during or after sessions. These will be offered as part of your home practice as well, which can help you self-generate your own development with more clarity and direction.

It’s a gentle but powerful way to deepen the benefits of meditation in your everyday life. A little like sharing with yourself.

I would also like to reassure you of the ongoing commitment to keep the classes a safe space, so our sessions begins with an agreement that anything that is shared remains confidential.  

Our group ethos values respect for individual boundaries, and we welcome different learning and communication styles, if you are quietly reflective you are quietly supported. I only ask that if you ever need clarification or would like to share you email me alimillsinsights@outlook.com.

Not at all. All of my beginner sessions are seated on chairs for comfort and accessibility. You don’t need to be flexible, athletic, or experienced. Just wear comfortable clothes you can layer on or off, and feel free to bring a cushion or shawl if you like.

In more advanced classes, there will be opportunities to explore different postures traditionally associated with meditation — such as sitting on cushions or lying down — but there will always be access to a chair.

My aim is to make the space physically supportive and inclusive for everyone, no matter your level or needs.

Yes and remember it’s completely okay. Change in life, whenever it occurs, can be tough. Sometimes the world can feel very different to what it used to be. When you slow down and become still, it’s natural for emotions that have been quietly bubbling under the surface to come up. This is a healthy and expected part of reconnecting with yourself.

You are never expected to share anything you don’t want to. This is a safe, non-judgmental space, and I’ll guide you gently through whatever arises.

As part of our class etiquette and shared class culture, we agree to come together in a spirit of acceptance and compassion. We’re not here to fix or save one another, rather,  witness, hold space, and support whatever arises through the meditation experience. Everyone is welcome exactly as they are.

I’m trained by the British School of Meditation (BSoM), which offers a multidimensional, non-dogmatic approach. My teaching draws from science, philosophy, and spirituality, rooted in longstanding traditions and modern research.
I’ve been practicing mindfulness and meditation for over 30 years, and daily since 2013. I see myself as an explorer of tools and techniques to soothe the nervous system and ease suffering of an over active mind. This long-term commitment to meditation has played a central role in my own healing from a generalised anxiety condition and lack of self confidence.  It’s  my honour to be able to share these skills from lived experience and grounded knowledge. Learning these skills, Even if you are a seasoned meditator, will give you strong foundations to build your own unique practice that fits your values and lifestyle.
So my teaching is unique because it isn’t affiliated with any particular school of belie,  it’s deeply rooted in my own exploration and practice and it comes from a deep place of loving kindness.  Fuelled with this, I guide you through techniques that are proven to support mental clarity, emotional balance, and physical wellbeing. My aim is for you to explore this world with me, so you can find what truly works for you.
