Unlock clarity at dawn with FocusRise breathwork & meditation
In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, finding time for meditation can often feel like an uphill battle. It’s one of those transformative habits that’s easy to push aside for more immediate tasks or when mental clutter takes the front seat. But just as a salad twice a week doesn’t make for a healthy lifestyle, sporadic meditation won’t unlock the profound benefits of a consistent practice.
We understand the challenges of integrating meditation into a busy schedule, and we’re here to change that. Our weekday meditation practice is designed to help you start your day with a moment of peace, clarity, and connection.

FAQs
Is it okay to do the session with my video off?
Certainly! If you feel that having your video on would be distracting, feel free to join the meditation session with your camera disabled. You will be able to participate fully. The choice is yours; it’s all about what makes you comfortable. Keep in mind that the meditation leader may not be able to give you as much personalised guidance or interaction since they won’t see you. During the meditation, we recommend closing your eyes to enhance focus. Once you’ve listened to the initial guidance, visual connection with the facilitator or other participants is not necessary.
What is the optimal sitting posture?
The preference is to sit comfortably cross-legged as a way to maintain focus and achieve a deep meditative state. Start by choosing a quiet, peaceful spot and place a cushion, block, or folded blanket on the floor to elevate your hips slightly; this tilt helps maintain the natural curve of your spine. Gently fold your legs into a simple cross-legged pose. Ensure your knees are at or below the level of your hips to reduce strain. Sit up straight, elongating your spine, but avoid stiffening your back. Your shoulders should be relaxed, and your hands can rest comfortably on your knees or in your lap. If you feel any discomfort, adjust your position or use additional support under your knees or buttocks. The goal is to find a balanced, comfortable posture that allows you to focus on your meditation without being distracted by any physical discomfort.
If sitting cross-legged is for any reason too uncomfortable, then please find any seat that works for you.
Can I eat or drink prior to the session?
Certainly, it is acceptable. Since the breathwork involved is gentle, there’s no strict requirement to fast beforehand. However, we recommend minimising or avoiding stimulants such as coffee before the session, or gradually reducing them over time if possible.
