Living & Transmitting the Art of Meditation

AN INCREDIBLE TRANSFORMATION PROGRAM
OFFERED FOR FRANCE

The ultimate goal of yoga is the attainment of an inner truth that is both universal and transcendental. Ancient wisdom reveals that only those who dedicate themselves to observing their internal activity—whether emotional, mental, or physical—can truly savor the profound virtues of existence.

Experience and integrate, through an absolutely unforgettable journey, the art of listening. This involves understanding the mind and its workings, and consciously and deeply observing the self, revealing the subtle expression of energy. A privileged moment of communion in time, attuned to the unfolding of your divinity. An experience of total intimacy with yourself, allowing the privilege of relaxation, contemplation, and silence inherent to your deepest nature to emerge in a magnificent natural setting.

• Samadhi pada (Patanjali)/ The initiatory path and the benefits of meditation.
