Ajapajapa Breath Meditation – Progressive level 1
Saturday July 22 – Wednesday Aug 30
1hr 30min class each Saturday morning for six weeks
$200
Develop your skills with Ajapajapa breath meditation.
Who is this course for?
Ideal for someone who has a regular simple Ajapajapa meditation practice, including those who have done earlier Ajapajapa courses with Sharing and Learning Yoga.
This course explores taking awareness up and down the spinal pathway and effectively builds on the experience of Chakra Shuddhi in the first course of this series.
If you have done the Essence of Meditation – breath course (June 2023), or another course that systematically introduces Ajapajapa Meditation, this will build on your experience.
Asana (postures), pranayama (breathing) and meditation, are integrated in these courses to create a balanced meditative experience and, together, are designed to foster personal sadhana (regular daily practice).
When do I need to turn up?
The primary commitment is a weekly live online Saturday morning class, with the option of a number of other classes during the week, as well as access to short talks on the subject, short standalone recorded meditations, and recordings of primary live classes. See timetable below.

About Ajapajapa Meditation
Ajapajapa Meditation takes breath along a specific pathway in the body with a mantra. The primary pathway in this course will be the length of the spine.
At a certain stage of this meditation what begins as a conscious and deliberate process becomes an effortless spontaneous flow of mantra, breath and pathway. Every element is entwined with the others within the embrace of conscious awareness.
It is a wonderfully flexible meditation, whether the mind is busy or quiet, the breath itself is the focus, the breath is what takes us on the journey.
As my personal daily meditation practice for thirty years – I look forward to sharing this wonderful flexible meditation with you.
