In our search for happiness, we turn to external objects and events for satisfaction. Through the practice of meditation, learn how to witness the outgoing tendencies of the mind and connect to the true source of our happiness, which lies within.

Join us for a five-day meditation immersion program with Padmavati, long-term Sivananda staff member and teacher, and co-producer of the Sivananda Yoga Book of Meditation.
The course will cover all aspects of the theory and practice of meditation including daily, meditation practices, group chanting, concentration exercises and workshops. Students will be encouraged to maintain a quiet existence while at the Ashram following its daily schedule.
