AW-STRUCK

“I spent a week in Bulgaria with Yoga Dharma as part of my 200hr Teacher Training Course. I had a wonderful time and was awe-struck by the beautiful surroundings. It was an extremely peaceful environment, as we were situated up in the hills. The purpose-built yoga studio is a joy to practice in and the house itself is charming. We had wonderful teachers who were able to both challenge and inspire us. Having never visited Bulgaria before, I am already keen to return“

AUTHENTIC & VERIFIABLE

Developing a consistent and regular meditation practice is fundamental to the integrity of teaching. This will be achieved through a structured approach closely guided by the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali and verifiable Tantric systems. This ensures safe and effective results. Your ability to guide students in a meditation practice will largely depend on your personal experience.         

Sutra 1. ATHA YOGANUSSASANAM

“Now the exposition of yoga is being made. The science of Yoga laid out in these Sutras is based on instructions passed on by a lineage of Teachers.
Yoga is a science based not on mere logical thinking, but by empirical proof.”

WHY MEDITATE?

“When neurons fire together, they wire together – mental activity actually creates new neural structures… What flows through your mind sculpts your brain. Thus, you can use your mind to change your brain for the better.” – Rick Hanson, Ph.D.

“Meditation is self-directed neuroplasticity, by directing the change of your brain by inwardly and consciously directing attention in a particular way. You’re using the mind to change the brain.”

CHANGES BOUGHT ABOUT BY MEDITATION

Research has shown that there are several ways that meditation can change the brain’s structure and function:

Major changes in the structure of the brain can take many years. Some studies mentioned above showed changes starting to occur after just a few weeks of meditation practice.
