Meditation
Methods for stillness, attention and sustained sadhana.
Meditation is the training of attention: learning to rest awareness on a single support, notice distraction without struggle, and return. Over time this becomes a steady sadhana rather than an occasional technique.
Foundations
- Posture and breath — a stable seat and a quiet breath come first.
- Concentration (dharana) — holding attention on one object.
- Meditation (dhyana) — attention that flows without effort.
- Sadhana — a daily, sustained practice.
How Yogi Shri teaches it
In Yogi Shri’s classes, meditation is taught the way every session is taught: an interactive exploration of the subject, followed by a practice, then time to share experience and receive personal guidance. The classical texts — the Bhagavad Gita, the Yoga Sutras, the Upanishads and the tantric scriptures — are studied for what they mean in daily practice.

All Meditation CoursesFrequently asked questions
How long should I meditate each day?
Begin with a length you can keep every day — ten to twenty minutes is enough at first. Regularity matters more than duration; the time grows naturally as the practice settles.
What if my mind will not stop thinking?
That is normal. Meditation is not forcing thoughts to stop; it is noticing distraction and returning to the support of attention, again and again, without struggle.
