Collingwood's Landed a New Modern Meditation Studio
Now open on Glasshouse Road, A—SPACE aims to help Melburnians maintain a healthy, mindful work/life balance.
Become the most mindful version of yourself at Melbourne's new multidisciplinary meditation studio. Now open on Glasshouse Road in Collingwood, A—SPACE is a place where busy professionals can escape from the pressures of everyday life. "It's a nourishing environment," says co-founder Josh Lynch, "that allows people to slow down, take a breath and feel like they're part of a community."
Both Lynch and his business partner Manoj Dias have a background in marketing and know full well the difficulties of maintaining work/life balance. "I know what it's like to feel the weight of your working life pile up on your shoulders and not know how to remove it," says Dias. "Drinking more coffee than your body can handle, taking on more and more tasks and feeling like you can't switch off."
"We wanted to create a space for people to slow down, breathe and engage in meaningful connections," he adds.
To that end, A—SPACE offers a range of classes and workshops, from mindfulness meditation to pranayama techniques to yoga nidra. Classes start at $20, or you can invest in a membership.
A—SPACE also has a number of corporate options for employers and their teams. With meditation having been found to make people happier and more productive, it seems like a worthwhile investment.
