Why Do We Meditate?
“I teach people how to develop a daily meditation practice because every fibre of my being loves talking about meditation, practising, learning about and sharing this ancient tool.”
Claire Robbie - Founder
“I saw a snippet of you, Claire, chatting on Instagram about your own meditation practice. It felt really inclusive, non-judgmental, relatable - and also kind of fun and fresh and edgy. So yeah i loved the tone. I think we went into lockdown about that time, so the (online) personal connection and guidance was especially valuable for me. And it was at a time personally when i really needed to take care of my health. I'd had an on-again-off-again mediation practice for years but it had felt a bit lonely and it was hard to maintain while relying on apps, pre-recordings etc because i didn't really know where i was going with the practise - so I was pretty excited to come across SOMM..”
