This programme has been a long time in the making, 27 years to be precise.

It was back then in 1997 that Steve received shaktipath (transmission of energy) and was initiated into the state of meditation by his teacher Swami Yogeshwaranand. Now, with the dawning of the Ashram, a collective readiness in the sangha and all the foundational practices in place, it is time to formally establish the LY Meditation System as a portal through which living yogis can establish themselves in the unshakeable stillness of being.

The course is open to dedicated practitioners who have completed the Level 1 LYM Teacher Training (or equivalent)

  

The Uniqueness of the Living Yoga Meditation System

Steve has distilled the essence of the yogic meditation tradition and developed a system of meditation which manages to blend a strong, methodical structure of meditation practice with enough play and flexibility to empower the practitioner to make the practice their own and mould it to their own innate temperament. This synthesis of structure and flexibility encourages the practitioner to engage in a joyful dance between effort and surrender, imbuing the method of meditation with a sense of exploration and natural joyfulness.

The uniqueness of the LYM Meditation System lies in its capacity to encapsulate all the main meditation methods of the yogic tradition into a singular system and format that is accessible, understandable, progressive and most importantly adaptable to an individual's temperament and natural devotion.

The structure of the course is designed to empower you as a practitioner to experientially understand how meditation works whilst establishing a lifetime of meditation practice for yourself and developing all the tools you need to share the method with others.

The Course

The 9 month LYM Meditation Teacher Training Programme will give you as a Living Yogi and LYM Coach the opportunity to complete (or take the next step in completing) your full training in the Method. 

As a course participant you will be part of a small group of sincere aspirants at the epicentre of a new wave of meditation practice that will gradually sweep through the Ashram. You will take up ancient practices of meditation that will strengthen your mental powers. You will learn how to fall back from the noise of your mind and establish yourself in a deep inner stillness from where all true self-knowledge is revealed.

You will be trained as all aspirants have traditionally been trained - in a forest Ashram - living with your teacher - practicing sadhana, satsang and seva. 

Each gathering will be a retreat in itself as together, we create an environment conducive to inner unfolding. At times you will practice mouna (inner silence). You will learn to eat, breathe, move, work, think and sleep meditatively; because of this you will be an example to others and perhaps also a guide on how to live the day-to-day with greater awareness and purpose.

The training will be a deep immersion in yogic living and what it really means to be a Living Yogi!
