Three Weekend Meditation Intensive TBA
The structure of the training:
Three weekend intensives, one of which being a weekend immersion at the Himalayan Institute.
This training offers has an emphasis on the fundamentals of meditation, such as posture and breathing, and how these issues greatly effect the quality of practice. We will compare, practice, and discuss different meditation techniques, but there will be a focus on one-pointed meditation methods such as breath and mantra awareness as are primary in the yoga tradition. An emphasis is also placed on how one prepares for meditation, such as through deep relaxation, yoga asanas, diaphragmatic breathing, and pranayama techniques. Students will also learn the basic principals of leading guided meditations, as these are especially useful for those who are unable to use upright postures. Upon completing the program, opportunities may be available to volunteer in non-profit outreach programs.
The trainings are offered on a rolling basis, beginning whenever there is a minimum of five students. With a small group, we will try to take into account student’s schedules in setting the two Philadelphia area dates. Himalayan retreat dates are set, see the “Retreats” page of the website.
