Darkness has paved your path, too; you wouldn’t be who you are today without those past storms and stumblings.
A sacred light guides your path - the light of spiritual awakening. Can you feel it? Ignoring the call to Grace would mean relinquishing all you’ve learned and discovered.

DIVE INTO THE CONTENT
Spiritual Heart Meditation
The non-dual wisdom of Advaita Vedanta is the cornerstone of our heart-centered and breath-based approach to meditation. Practicing Spiritual Heart Meditation allows us to connect to the heartbeat of life and become intimate with the eternal present moment. We’ll explore in depth all three elements of Spiritual Heart Mediation, deepen your practice of Self-Inquiry, and understand how it waves into daily life.
Study & Practice Relevant Mantras
All the world is vibrating, and mantra is the science of how to use vibration to tap into the deepest parts of who we are. If you are new to this style of meditation, get ready; it is a very direct and powerful way of discovering who you are. We will use mantras chanted out loud and silent mantra meditation, using bija mantras to dive into the natural stillness and wonder of the eternal now.
Pranayama & Asana
In our experience, meditation is not always an easy habit to establish, mostly because people have busy minds and lives. Understanding how the body, breath, and the energy or prana can help you discover your stillness is a vital part of the yoga and meditation experience. We give you simple tools to discover energy, using the body and the breath to go deeper into your essential nature. Be ready to discover Pranayama, Yin Yoga, and Hatha Flow practices to open the door to mediation.
Get to Know the Field
Mediation is an ancient art form aimed at elevating consciousness. Its practice dates back millennia and is found across cultures all over the globe. We will take you by the hand to introduce you to every aspect of this art form, from setting up your foundation in your body and mind to getting to know the approaches of the major wisdom traditions and scriptures to extracting what Western science and medicine have to contribute to accessing this refined state of consciousness.
Self-Practice
Throughout this course, you will practice a generous amount of Spiritual Heart and mantra meditation. The sessions range from short sittings, which build up to 60-minute meditations, and meditations inspired by posture practice and Pranayama. Regular guided mediation practice combined with a true understanding of the techniques and thorough guidance on setting up a mediation self-practice empowers you to carry the depth of mediation beyond the course and make it a solid part of your daily routine.
Teaching Meditation
We believe that the depth of our practice qualifies us to teach Yoga and meditation. Our approach to supporting teachers' growth is to take aspiring teachers by the hand and help them dive into the ocean of meditation. Mediation experience coupled with a thorough understanding of the foundation of meditation and in-depth practical teaching skills empowers you to offer meditation sessions of various types upon graduation. The course prepares you to offer meditation as part of a yoga class, as a stand-alone practice, and shows how to lead an introduction to meditation workshop.
