Meditation Courses
According to the theory and concept of yoga, meditation is a state of mind and consciousness in which there is alertness, dynamism, dissociation of mind and senses, and total concentration. It is definitely not a process to block out events or experiences which are constantly affecting us. So proper training has to be given to the senses, to the mind and also to the mental faculties as and when they manifest, in order to perfect dharana (concentration) and to come to the meditative state of dhyana.

Meditation can be described as a state where there is an intense form of concentration, i.e. the practitioner becomes concentrated in themselves, in the nature of their being. This is done not through effort but through awareness, observation and acceptance. If we can rest in our true nature we can release many tensions, physical and mental and hopefully gain some clarity and understanding.
We are very fortunate in Satyananda yoga to have various techniques to help bring about this state and different techniques may suit different people. Over the course of the 8 weeks we will look at and develop some of these practices.

This course is for students who wish to continue and build the process of establishing their meditation practice. It will aim at deepening the ability of relaxation, to encourage body stillness, which allows a greater quantity of energy available to draw out creativity in daily activities and interactions, while giving time to discover and let go of those habits which we allow to hinder our growth and expression.
CD and notes will be provided during and at the end of both courses.
Fees may be paid in advance or half/half or as appropriate – at first class.
