How these ratings work

These bars are a guide, not a score of this business. Each starts from Oria Haven’s profile of Meditation as a kind of session, then is adjusted by facts stored on this listing: its price band, its group size and whether it welcomes beginners.

Nobody has rated this particular venue in person, and reviews are not fed in. Where we have no fact about this listing behind a bar — for example how many people share the room — we leave that bar out rather than guess.

They describe the room — how quiet, how physical, how many people — never what a session is supposed to do for you.

My friend invited me to join her this morning for Ayurveda yoga in the gorgeous hall behind St Paul’s Anglican Church. Despite the heat, the hall was cool due the high ceilings, wooden floors and 4 fans circulating air. It’s a wonderfully relaxing way to start your Saturday morning. 10-11.15am, followed by sharing some food and a chat outside near the fountain and olive trees. Bring your yoga mat, stretch ropes and blocks. Payment by donation 😉. #stpaulsanglicanchurch

Such a beautiful Church built over 100years ago with awesome garden, event hall and great space. You feel the peace n God's presence. It's like a small town church in Europe with flowers n pretty landscape and people are so friendly and welcoming. I am so going to take photos with a nice dress and hat next time I go again. Their Sunday service is at 9.15am every week. Anyone is welcomed.

Very unique place in Fremantle, because not only Christians use it for worship every Sunday morning but also the Muslims. The Salaah Jum'ah (Sholat Jum'at) also held there every Friday afternoon (around 1 PM) in the hall rear left the church. Free parking space is available & you can take Wuddu' at the toilet left the building. Just remember, Salaah Jum'ah is NOT HELD there on Public Holiday (like Good Friday or Australia day). ALLAHUAKBAR! The beauty of difference *love& respect

Meditation cushionsRetrospec Sedona Zafu Meditation CushionRetrospec

A crescent zafu filled with buckwheat hulls, with a washable cotton cover and a carry handle. Sits you a little higher than the floor so the knees drop and the back stays upright.

Good for beginners

Goes well with Meditation classes

Why we picked it

The thing most people are missing when they say they cannot sit still is a cushion of the right height. A crescent shape gives the thighs somewhere to go, and buckwheat can be added or taken out until it is yours. It is the first thing we would put in a meditation corner.

Meditation cushionsHugger Mugger Standard Yoga BolsterHugger Mugger

A rectangular bolster with a firm core and a soft surface, handmade in the USA. The shape used in restorative and yin classes.

Everyday use

Goes well with Meditation classes Yoga

Why we picked it

Restorative yoga is mostly the art of being held up by the right prop, and a bolster is the prop. Hugger Mugger's has been the studio standard for decades because the core does not go soft. Under the knees, along the spine, or across the lap for a long sit.

Meditation booksWherever You Go, There You AreJon Kabat-Zinn

Jon Kabat-Zinn's short chapters on mindfulness in everyday life, from the founder of mindfulness-based stress reduction. Paperback edition.

Good for beginners

Goes well with Meditation classes Mindfulness coaching

Why we picked it

The one meditation book we would hand to someone who has never sat down to meditate. The chapters are two or three pages each, secular in tone, and you can open it anywhere. Thirty years on it is still the plainest introduction there is.
