5 immersive days to choose from
Immerse yourself in five one-day modules spread out over the course of 8 months, for a concentrated Meditation experience. Available to book on a module by module basis.
Join senior teacher Lucinda Pimlott for this series of meditation days – 5 modules designed for yoga teachers and dedicated yoga practitioners. Meditation is an essential aspect of practice for the aspiring yogi. Most meditation courses focus for the main part on asana; these individual days give the opportunity to develop the more subtle aspects of the Eight Limbs of Yoga.
Lucinda has been studying and practising meditation for 25 years in the Vipassana/Insight tradition. In this time she has had the great fortune of learning with some of meditations most revered individuals including Goenkaji, Thich Nhat Hanh and Leela Sarti to whom she is very grateful for their wisdom and guidance.
Her Meditation Days will cover the core concepts of Buddhist Philosophy, which are the foundation for all schools of Buddhism. Since Meditation is now widely recognised as a helpful tool for Mental Health and Wellbeing, establishing a regular practice is highly recommended. For those wanting to progress on the spiritual path, cultivating a meditation practice is essential.
Meditation can help us to discover what really matters to us. For
“a love of what is real and true, a love of what frees the human spirit.” – Leela Sarti

Meditation and yoga have intertwined histories that date back thousands of years, primarily rooted in ancient Indian spiritual traditions.
The origins of meditation can be traced to the Indus Valley civilisation (around 2500 BCE), where it was practiced in various forms. Ancient texts, such as the Vedas, mention meditative practices and their spiritual significance. By around 200 BCE, the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali were written, outlining the eight limbs of yoga, which include ethical practices, physical postures, breath control, and meditation. These texts also outline meditation as a means to achieve spiritual goals and self-realisation (samadhi) and in ancient India, meditation became an integral part of yoga practices.
By the 6th century BCE, meditation techniques were being refined in various spiritual traditions. Buddhism emerged during this time, emphasising mindfulness and insight meditation (vipassana) as key practices for achieving enlightenment.
Throughout history, meditation evolved as a key component of yoga, emphasising the mind’s role in achieving spiritual goals. Different schools of thought, such as Buddhism, further developed meditation techniques, promoting mindfulness and insight.
By the 20th century, yoga and meditation gained popularity in the West, often focusing on the physical aspects of yoga while also emphasising meditation for mental well-being and stress relief. Various techniques, such as mindfulness practices, became widely recognised.
Today, meditation and yoga are widely practiced globally, often seen as complementary practices that promote physical health, mental clarity, and spiritual growth. Their relationship continues to evolve, adapting to contemporary needs while retaining their ancient roots.
These meditation days are aimed at both yoga teachers and experienced yoga practitioners and aim to provide a fully immersive experience that will expand your knowledge and practice of meditation.
That means if you have at least 2 years regular (at least once a week consistently) practice of yoga and/or meditation, you will be eligible. If you still aren’t sure, please arrange to have a chat with the teacher by emailing info@limehouseyoga.com

The practices of yoga and meditation have been a way of life for me since 1998, although I had no idea in those early days to what extent they would profoundly change my life. It has been a journey of learning to trust that we are in exactly the right place at the right time.
I began teaching over 25 years ago, and even though in the beginning the subject was different, teaching has been my path since I left university. In 2000, I was initiated into the practice of Buddhist meditation with Goenkaji in the Vipassana tradition and since then have been taught and inspired by Thich Nhat Hanh and teachers from the Insight and Thai Forest traditions.
In 2005, my first yoga teacher, Beth Shay, took me under her wing as an apprentice. I then went on to train formally in the Anusara tradition and have been teaching yoga for 16 years. More recently, I have been practising with senior teachers in the Iyengar tradition and am grateful for the insights and guidance that all of my teachers have brought.
I first met Jock around 2007 when we crossed paths while training with Bridget Woods-Kramer in Cornwall. We quickly became friends and started practising together and covering each others classes and when Jock founded Lime House, he invited me to come and teach classes and workshops at their first, smaller studio at the back of Jock’s house. After a few years, Jock suggested we look into running a Teacher Training programme together, combining our different energies and areas of expertise to bring a comprehensive training to our students. We ran our first one in 2018 and they now run bi-annually, and I am so grateful for the ability to continue sharing these ancient teachings and the joy that teaching alongside a friend brings.
About 10 years ago, I began practising Ayurveda, which shares its underlying philosophy with yoga. After studying the Foundations of Ayurveda with Doctors Claudia Welch and Robert Svoboda, I understood this to be a key ingredient in spiritual practice. Raising our awareness of the state of our body and mind is not only conducive to good health, but is inherent in our journey towards knowing the inner essence of our being.
My weekly classes in Penryn include a mixture of flow and close attention to alignment in asana, pranayama and meditation. For me, the science of yoga can only be understood through embodiment of the teachings.
“Yoga is a quest to know the nature of the true Self. Since the philosophy of yoga views a human being to be a microcosm of the macrocosm, by connecting with our inner being, we connect with Universal Consciousness, whose nature is utter peace and boundless love. I can’t think of anything more important.” Lucinda
