Meditation: Learning to listen

“I can’t thank you enough for offering this course and presenting such vast materials with the ease you do.”

 

THIS UNIQUE COURSE AIMS TO FOSTER BOTH AN EXPERIENTIAL AND INTELLECTUAL RELATIONSHIP TO SEATED YOGIC MEDITATION.

Yoga is the fine-tuning of our awareness to observe the subtle. As yoga instructors, we become adept at cueing the ‘gross’, like the form of asana and the chug of the breath, but cultivating an awareness of the ‘subtle’ is a skill that takes time to foster. 

If the purest form of guided meditation feels like plucking words from the ether, how can you build a language that guides your students to these places? How can you lean on your own experience to inform your teaching?

over 10 weeks and Four SESSIONS

Becoming an authentic and effective meditation instructor emerges from ones’ relationship with the modality. This course assists you with fostering that relationship through a curated, 10-week meditation program and creative workbook. To inspire and infuse your progress, we meet for check-ins and mini lectures where we toggle the theory of meditation with other lenses like the nervous system response and neuroscience.

TOGETHER, WE WILL:

  • Ground ourselves in the philosophical roots of yogic meditation through a scriptural literature review (ie. where is ‘meditation’ introduced and how?)

  • Utilize the philosophical premise of yoga as a way to inform meditation instruction, including dualism, Samkhya, the antar anga and the tradition of metaphor

  • Understand the physiology of meditation and how meditative practices impact the brain and nervous system

  • Establish a relationship to meditation, which informs how one can teach it with effect

  • Learn how to write and deliver inspired and effective meditation scripts with confidence

  • Understand the importance of, and become confident with holding silence while teaching.

“Hey dear Taryn, thank you so much for this beautiful course that you have created - I loved this little, yet big, container a lot! It was a beautiful ritual to come to every Wednesday evening.”
