Program
How the training works
The course has two important components:
1. The live component
You meet regularly throughout the year to create ongoing connections with your peers and instructors. This includes monthly sharing circles, Q and As, synchronized meditations during the retreats, practicums with your buddy, feedback from instructors and mentoring. Participation in the live sharing circles is up to you – but you do need to sync with one of each retreat happening multiple times per year. Please inquire for dates.
Hours of the synced live sessions will be chosen according to geographical distribution to best accommodate all participants. All live sessions will be recorded and uploaded to the trusted course platform. Each live sharing circle will be approximately 90 minutes long. Synced meditations will be approximately 1 hour.
They will be available for you throughout the year via five one-on-one video calls. Plus, they have a designated private forum to answer any questions that may come up during your practice and to interact with other students and instructors.
2. The recorded component
As soon as you sign up, you will be enrolled in the online platform where you may begin your studies at your own pace. You will have one full year to complete the material. During this year, you will be required to participate in one of each retreat at the time that suits you best. Retreats happen multiple times per year.
Timing of sessions (Bali, GMT+8)
There will be 2-3 live meditations per week via Zoom and weekly live Q and A and sharing circles via Zoom. The live sessions take place according to the geographical distribution and availability of the training participants.

Course schedule
The Samyama 300-hour online meditation and yoga teacher training course will run over a five-week period with an extra week for study and integration. You may choose to do the full five-week immersion, or spread the course out over a few months. If you choose the self-paced option, you must still attend one full cycle of live sessions. This includes all meditation initiations, the silent retreat, and all live practicums.
The lecture and practice videos will be released day by day as they would’ve been taught in person. This way, Samyama can run this course as close to in-person training as possible and support each other as you go through it together.
Hours of the synced live sessions will be chosen according to geographical distribution to best accommodate all participants. All live sessions will be recorded and uploaded to a course platform, Teachable.
The Samyama team will be available for you throughout the week via one-on-one video calls and weekly sharing / Q and A circles for the whole group. Plus, they have a designated private WhatsApp group to answer any questions that may come up during the day and interact with other students. Each live sharing circle will be approximately 90 minutes long.
What to expect
Meditation initiations
Each week, you will be taken into the depths of a different and potent meditation technique by the empowered teachers. Daily practice of each technique will help you discover which form of meditation works best for you, and give you the ability to guide your future students. You will experience two profound retreats during this course.
- A 6-day meditation retreat based on non-dual practices and the revelation of the spiritual heart, 3 days of which will be practiced in silence
- A 6-day Kundalini yoga and meditation retreat based on non-dual Kashmiri Shaivism and classical Tantra teachings
Styles of yoga
You will be trained in major, classical poses of Hatha yoga obtaining a thorough understanding of their physical, energetic, emotional, mental, and spiritual effects.
Additionally, MYTTC focuses on Vinyasa, Kundalini, and Restorative practices of yoga with a great emphasis on Tantra yoga addressing the subtle energetic and spiritual effects of your practice.
Anatomy and physiology
Samyama wants you to have a good understanding of the anatomy and physiology of the body without getting overwhelmed by medical words alone. The expert teachers will create immersions into anatomy, physiology, and Ayurveda – the sister science of yoga – for you to explore yoga's effects and functioning in your being from a scientific perspective.
Kriya techniques
The training will teach and practice together selected techniques from the shat karma kriya system. This will assist your body in the purification processes that occur during intensive yoga and meditation practice. These techniques are gems that you will want to share with your students.
Teaching and professional skills
Samyama teachers love sharing their passion for this path. They want you to develop all of the required teaching skills; from making adjustments / corrections to giving effective discourses to tuning into the needs of the individual and the group. They would also like to broaden your vision on how to make teaching yoga and meditation your profession. They will support you in creating a yoga business bringing abundance to your life and serving your community in the best possible way.
Philosophy and history
Besides the core texts of yoga philosophy such as the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali and the Bhagavad Gita, the training will introduce Tantric texts such as the Vijnana Bhairava Tantra, teachings from Advaita Vedanta, Kashmiri Shaivism, classical Tantra, and more. There are so many beautiful and accessible texts that inform and inspire your meditation practice.
