Week 1: Relaxation
What is Meditation? In this first class you will learn the foundational principles of meditation including: How to sit properly, the connection between the mind and breath, and the importance of upward relaxation as a way to elevate your consciousness

Yogananda said that the Hong-Sau concentration technique was India’s greatest contribution to the world. This simple and deeply transformative practice will help you to experience true concentration and inner awareness.

Expansion is where “true” meditation begins. It is the peaceful expanded sense of awareness that makes meditation ever satisfying. In this class you will learn how to raise and expand your awareness through devotion and deep silence.
