Yoga to Enhance Meditation

The goal of meditation is to realize the True Self, which is experienced when you awaken to your True Nature—a state of permanent peace and happiness. Meditation is the portal to this experience.

The Yoga practices you’ll explore in this weekend are designed to bring a state of equanimity and balance. Each has a unique purpose of enhancing your meditation experience, with the objective of establishing and strengthening a regular, meaningful meditation practice.

You will explore:

• Asana: physical postures to keep the body supple and strong, reduce tension, and to establish a comfortable meditation posture
• Pranayama: breathing practices to regulate energy and thoughts
• Mantra Japa: mantra repetition that stimulates focus and love
• Yoga Nidra: relaxation to calm the mind and body
• Restorative poses for breath awareness and relaxation
• Meditation techniques that ease mental obstacles

Continuing Education Opportunities

• Yoga Alliance (YA): Approximately 7 contact hours
• Integral Yoga Teachers Association (IYTA) can provide you a CE certificate of your program’s total contact hours. For more information, email membership@iyta.org.
