About This Course

Yoga the traditional way of the sages

*******Over 13,000  students are enrolled in this course*******

"Yoga As Meditation" is a process of blending with and expanding on what you are already doing, not a process of replacing one with the other. An increasing number of postural yoga teachers and students are exploring the more traditional meaning of yoga practices as methods of meditation and contemplation intended to lead to Self-realization, or enlightenment, awakening to the ever peaceful, joyous center of consciousness which is one with the absolute reality. This course is designed to be an introduction to that process, to the fact that yoga really does mean "union" of the individual self with the universal Self. 

Yoga is a whole life process. Ultimately, there is only one Yoga with many aspects. Meditation is so much at the core of traditional Yoga that Yoga virtually IS Meditation.

  • To gain a basic understanding of what it means to say that Yoga IS meditation

  • Easily be able to perform short self-guided meditations

  • To practice meditation systematically with body, breath, conscious and unconscious mind, and beyond

Very deep and precise informations about all the aspects of the Yoga Meditation. You "just" have to follow all the well-explained guidelines, and you'll have great experiences and self-realizazion while meditating.

Curso em Inglês - de fácil compreensão a quem tem conhecimento do idioma: o instrutor fala pausadamente e de forma objetiva.
E, de início, explica o caminho (mais tradicional do Yoga, voltado ao interior do ser) que seguirá.
Recomendo.

I tried and tried to do this from my laptop for a bigger screen but does not work well at all. Just the spinning wheel of death! Just started on the app on my iPhone and so far so good.
