Weekend Meditation Intensive with Priyan
Spending time to immerse yourself in an intensive meditation retreat offers a multitude of benefits for individuals seeking inner peace and self-discovery. It provides a much-needed respite from the demands of daily life, allowing participants to detach from distractions and fully immerse themselves in the practice of meditation, which promotes deep relaxation, stress reduction, and mental clarity.
For yogis whose commitments and responsibilities prevent them from embarking on overseas trips or participating in residential yoga retreats, or just need a simple weekend to recharge, we are thrilled to announce our upcoming Weekend Meditation Intensive, right here at the Nithya Priyan School of Yoga.
Our Weekend Intensive will provide a unique opportunity for both beginners and experienced practitioners to come together within the calming environment of our school and immerse themselves in Silence and Stillness. This intensive has been specially designed to provide the same enriching experience that one would typically seek from international or residential retreats.
To book your spot, please contact us or click the signup button. Limited spaces are available as we aim to maintain a small group setting, ensuring personal attention and guidance throughout the weekend.
WHAT TO EXPECT
During this Weekend Intensive, you can look forward to:
Daily Yoga Sessions: Delve into rejuvenating and gentle yoga to start each session, providing space and ease within the body and the breath to explore stillness. Classes will cater to practitioners of all levels.
Meditation and Mindfulness: Nurture your mind, body, and spirit. Develop inner peace, enhance focus, and cultivate self-awareness amidst our tranquil environment.
Lectures and Immersive Experiences: These delve deeper into specific aspects of yoga philosophy, neuroscience and physiology that relate to your inner journey.

44 Hour Meditation Teacher Training
Empowering Yogis to Be Sources of Wisdom and Light
We are excited to announce our upcoming 44 Hour Meditation Teacher Training course, which not only aims to empower individuals with the means of transmitting their experiences to others but also emphasizes the importance of giving back to the community. As we embark on this training course, we recognize the significance of giving as we receive. Our intention is to create a community of compassionate and empowered practitioners who can share the gift of meditation with others, spreading peace, wisdom, and light.
Through this 44 Hour Meditation Teacher Training, you’ll be equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to guide others on their own meditation journeys.
Beyond the technical aspects, this course will emphasise the importance of cultivating a compassionate heart and a deep understanding of the human experience. As meditation practitioners, we recognize that everyone's journey is unique, and our role as teachers is to hold space for others without judgment or attachment. Through experiential learning, discussions, and practical teaching exercises, you’ll develop the capacity to create a safe and inclusive environment for your future students.
The aim is to create a ripple effect where the calm and clarity you experience can positively impact your families, friends, workplaces, and society.
This Teacher Training is not just a certification course; it is an invitation to transcend the personal realm and extend the benefits of meditation to others. By giving back to the community, you become an integral part of a larger movement to create a more harmonious and compassionate world.
We invite all aspiring meditation teachers, seasoned practitioners, and individuals who wish to deepen their practice to join us on this transformative journey. Let us come together, learn, practice, and ultimately empower ourselves.
