Training Program Online: BALANCE for ONLINE Option

The 12 private sessions are important to give you a chance to really explore and dig what the meaning and practice is for you. We all learn ideas superficially, but meditation is a deep personal practice and having the opportunity to work with a teacher/guru (like Padma) is extraordinary and very special. It’s also a traditional method of really understanding this profound transformation.

This part of the Training has been offered as a retreat, and this content will be offered in the Retreat in India in 2025.

For the Online Option, we’ll cover the materials in the 12 hours together.

The structure of the private sessions is:
Padma presents to you an overview the philosophy and practices presented in the four online course to make sure these are well understood, not just what the content is, but how they work for you.
We go deeper into learning the wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita, a text about meditation and how the wisdom manifests in daily life challenges.
We focus on the Patanjali Sutras so that you grasp what the key points are and what they really mean.
In the 12 sessions we’ll cover the in-depth course of “How to Teach Meditation”. You’ll receive a pdf manual of 25 pages for this part!
This includes topics such as:
Your Personal Practice
What to teach
Core Yogic Meditation Philosophy and Practices
Overview of other Meditation Schools
Designing classes with examples
Setting up and Marketing classes
Teaching Skills
Obstacles you encounter as a Teacher
Precautions
Teaching Methodologies
