What is meditation? It is not the word meditation. You must know the concept of meditation and mindfulness. Meditation is a systematic conscious process - an educational and training process to gain control over your mind. From multiple objects and multiple thoughts (monkey mind), one should be able to bring their mind to one object and one positive thought, and maintain it for a longer period gradually.

This cannot be done by force. You will have to use the correct tools and techniques, as well as train your mind, to bring it to the mind to meditation and mindfulness state. To train your mind, "yoga tools and techniques" will be used in the training course.

This is how meditation and mindfulness were taught and trained in the ancient days, according to the ancient scriptures. Yoga techniques such as yama, niyama, yogic physical exercises including asanas / postures, pranayama / yogic breathing techniques, pratyahara, dharana / focusing, dhyana / defocusing, and samadhi techniques will be used in the training.

In this course, Himalayan Yoga Retreat and Ayurveda Center will teach you how to meditate and also train you how to teach others.

Curriculum details

Generally, meditation is considered difficult, especially by young and Western students, because they are not used to sitting for long periods. Meditation is a process of mind control. Therefore, with proper knowledge, it can be practiced in various physical positions such as sitting, lying, standing, walking, dancing, and doing asana.

The mind can be controlled in all these physical positions using proper tools. In this teacher training course, they will train you to meditate in all these different physical positions. Whichever physical position suits you, you can choose one or more positions to meditate.
