    Course Structure:

    The retreat course has 100 effective meditation hours subdivided into 3 major stages or sections.

    First section for 3 days to prepare the mind and the body doing meditation to develop the concentration and start getting the attention inwards in preparation for the second stage of the retreat. As a result, a purification process starts on the second day.

    Second section for 5 days focused on the practice of vipassana meditation, an ancient Buddhist technique to go deeper inwards and learn how to purify the mind from negative subconscious patterns. A major purification process occurs as a result, especially in the final days of this stage which is preparing participants for the final section.

    Third section of the retreat is 1 and a half day focused on the practice of the Spiritual Heart activation which also is called the Higher Self, Inner Self, Higher Consciousness, Intuitive Intelligence, etc. This stage is possible due to the previous two sections which helped dissolved an important layer of the subconscious mind enough so that at this final stage we can easily re activate that inner connection.

  • Meditation & Yoga Course Online

    Meditation and Yoga Online Course (8 weeks)

    The aim of this 8 Week program is to facilitate a space to deepen your relationship and practise of Meditation. We will also be doing Yoga, Yoga enables us to sit for longer periods of time with comfort and ease in the body and unravel old tension and memory stuck in the body. Yoga is also the science of breath control, through awareness and breathing exercises we improve our lung capacity and slow down our breathing, also vital for higher levels of meditation. I can offer recommended books and breathing exercises (pranayama) if you are interested at any stage.

    The body-mind are two sides of the same coin, so therefore it is essential for longer periods of seated meditation to be prepared in the body.

    What you will learn:

      1. How to enter in a meditative state using different methods depending on different situations.
      2. How to go deeper into meditation very quickly learning how to use the balancing factors during meditation (coaching is provided at all times).
      3. How to dissolve thought patterns from the subconscious mind and eradicate negative ones.
      4. How to use meditation to heal chronic stress and illnesses.
      5. How to overcome strong emotions such as fear, anger, guilt, shame, etc.
      6. You will understand the energy work dynamics in our body & mind at an experiential level.
      7. You will also realize at the experiential level how illness is created in the body due to negative thoughts in the mind.
      8. How meditation can make a difference in your life, releasing your inner conflicts to optimize all your unlimited creativity.

    As we meditate more we realise that longer periods of meditation are essential for deeper practise, in this case we need a body that can sit in long periods of meditation without needing to move due to pain. Yoga is therefore essential in opening up the hips and bringing the shoulders back and down, so we can sit in ease. Through Yoga we learn breathing techniques which improve our lung capacity, and slow down the heart rate, encouraging more peaceful states of mind. Breathing techniques can also be used to help with agitation of the mind before meditation.

    Course Structure:

    The online course structure is subdivided into 8 weekly modules or sections.

    Meditation:We will be using the Anapana and Vipassana technique of meditation, along with the Spiritual Heart meditation, protection meditation, balancing of masculine and feminine energy and Meta meditation. We start with Anapana meditation technique, focusing our awareness and developing concentration. The Vipassana Meditation technique is about learning how to dissolve negative patterns stored in your subconscious mind, which in many cases, are the cause of physical illness or mental barriers that do not let you achieve the goals you set. It is an effective of purifying crystallised energy stored in the subconscious mind.

    We will also share with you some short meditation practices about how to protect yourself and heal your energy, as well as balancing your masculine and feminine energy. We will also be practising Meta meditation, this is a gratitude practice, of aligning ourselves with love and permeating this through ourselves and the universe, promoting a harmonious and healthy world and aligning ourselves with our future aspirations through conscious creation.

    Yoga: enables us to bring flexibility into the body while marrying the breath with movement. I will be encouraging you to practise long hold yoga postures throughout the program. By this I mean staying 10/20 minutes in one posture. (like a lying down butterfly, hero pose, child’s pose or twist). By staying for longer periods of time in postures, we begin a dialogue with the self, and release accumulated tension and stress in the body. This in term purifies the subconscious mind and is a very therapeutic process.

    The minimum recommendation is 2 Yoga Sessions a week (for example, one led class online with Anna, and one self practise of long hold postures) as well as one Yoga Nidra session a week. The more hours spent in practise, the more quickly we will benefit. For those who have time it is recommended to practise more, for outcome and results reflect the amount of time we put in. 

    Here I present you with the list and explanation of the postures you will be practising in the long holds.
