SELF ENQUIRY AND MINDFULNESS TEACHER

I am a qualified and professional Meditation and Mindfulness teacher. I use the vehicle of Mindfulness to help individuals, teams and managers to bring self awareness to their own belief systems that maybe limiting them and creating conflict and stress within their relationships both personally and in work.

I work with companies to build inclusion and psychological safety so as that people can show up authentically and be able to communicate
and participate skilfully without fear of negative impacts. Creating these environments individually and collectively in teams and companies means that people work with greater collaboration increasing productivity, creativity and overall wellness.

My name is Aileen Slein and I have spent two decades exploring and learning in this area of Self Awareness and Mindfulness. I lived for three years in India where I studied with some of the leading teachers of Advaita Philosophy, most notably Ramesh Balsekar, student of Nisgardatha Maharaj. I have trained with Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach and completed their Mindfulness Teacher training with Berkley University.

Compassionate Self Awareness is a constant learning of being in the world with skilful responses as opposed to blind painful reactivity.

YOGA TEACHER

I am a senior Iyengar Yoga teacher and have been teaching for over twenty-two years. My journey with Yoga began through the experience of living with congenital scoliosis, but over time it became something much deeper — a way of finding harmony within my body, mind, and psyche.

I spent three years in India studying with leading teachers in both Yoga and Advaita philosophy. Those years shaped not just my understanding of Yoga as a practice, but as a way of being — one that invites presence, steadiness, and compassion for our human experience.

For me, the most valuable gift of Yoga is self-practice — the ability to roll out my mat in the midst of whatever is happening in life, reconnect to my body and breath, and rediscover balance and clarity.

Over the years I have trained in and taught Therapy Yoga, Yoga for Cancer, Yoga for Sports People, and Kids Yoga. I teach Yoga as a practice of connection — one that reflects back into our mind and spirit, creating a felt sense of unity within ourselves and with life.

My love for Yoga philosophy and Advaita continues to deepen. I have spent the past two decades studying and learning from the teachings of Ramesh Balsekar, Nisargadatta Maharaj, Jason Siff, Tara Brach, Jack Kornfield, Alan Watts, and Ram Dass.

As Ram Dass beautifully expressed, “It is not in spite of our humanity that freedom lies, but through it.”
I believe this wholeheartedly — that our human and spiritual selves are not separate, but two expressions of the same truth.
