Book A Session
Welcome!
I’m Maryem, a busy-busy bee. Like many of you, my life is a whirlwind of tasks and deadlines.
For far too long, i felt like I was always running, trying to catch up, and weighing myself down with stress and worry. It seemed that this might just be what my life was: overloaded, stretching to meet the next demand. Then I discovered the world of contemplative practices, starting with Yoga and meditation... Through steady practice, I’ve found a deeper connection. While still juggling many personal and professional pursuits, I now know that it’s possible to feel balanced, playful, and joyous - and to insist on sharing what I’ve learned in this journey.
I support a holistic, life-affirming environment for all. I assist seekers in discovering and maintaining balance and stability as they navigate life. I want us all to celebrate and to serve ourselves, others, and the planet with kindness and wisdom.
That's my purpose - and that of the Bermudaful Centre for Mindfulness.

Frequently Asked Questions
I'M NOT FLEXIBLE.
CAN I STILL DO YOGA?
You don’t need to be able to touch your toes to practice. In class, you will be given options for modifications and the use of props to make sure the poses work for you and your body where you are today. The important part is to be kind to yourself and to be willing to try.
I CAN’T SIT STILL FOR AN HOUR.
CAN I STILL MEDITATE?
Absolutely. Meditation can be practised for any duration, even just a few minutes.
In my classes, you’re encouraged to quietly scratch a stubborn itch or shift in your seat if/when discomfort gets distracting. I also intentionally schedule movement breaks.
Start with short sessions and gradually increase the time as you become more comfortable.
WHAT IF I WISH TO CANCEL?
If you need to cancel a class or session for which you registered, you can get a credit - redeem it by attending the following scheduled session. Your credit will expire after that. To claim the credit, email your cancellation message no less than 24 hours before we are to meet.
No credits are extended for late cancellations.
DO YOU TAKE DROP-IN STUDENTS?
Yes, drop-in students are welcome to group classes, based on space availability.
A drop-in yoga class is $25.
A drop-in meditation class is $20. If it’s an online class, the registration will not be locked prior to log-in so you can join gently and meet us where we are.
WHEN SHOULD I GET TO CLASS?
Plan to arrive or log on 5 minutes before the start of class to give your self time to get set up and get settled.
If you’re logging on to an online session, plan to be there 5 minutes early to allow for software updates and other glitches.
If you’re walking into an in-person class a few minutes late, gently make your way into the space and join the group.
