I have to first say I am enjoying the course sooooooo much!!  You are a wonderful teacher.

Patricia Writes:

I received my certificate today and it is so beautiful and the lovely letter that wrote with it.  Thank you so much.

Last Sunday I gave my first meditation class to a group at the yoga studio in Dorking.  At the end of the class one of the students said to me, "That was the best money they had spent in their whole life".

I am so grateful to you for helping me to become a tool through which this precious knowledge can be passed on to others.

Congratulations to New Graduates and New Teacher’s Directory Now Online:

First, I would like to congratulate the latest graduates, who have successfully completed their meditation teacher’s training and passed the final exam as well.  You will find their listing now active in the newly launched Certified Meditation Teachers and Centers Directory.  In addition, new graduates can get a listing on the following page as well, which due to it’s authority with Google can help boost their website ranking and search results, Best Yoga, Meditation and Wellness Centers.

Future Plans - Affiliates and International Payments:

Affiliate Program Coming Soon:

Soon the affiliate program for the Certification Course will be fully active.  I am just holding back till some final adjustments and tweaks are completed.  Once that is done I will broadcast this opportunity to all my webmaster and meditation friends, so be on the lookout for that in the near future.

International Enrollments and Payments:

I know some of you located outside the US have had difficulty enrolling and paying with your credit cards via PayPal and I apologize for this inconvenience.  But I am happy to report that soon Mastery of Meditation and Yoga will be upgrading it’s payment processing capabilities to be able to directly and securely handle credit cards and international payments.  This should be online within the next 1-2 weeks, as we have been approved for a Merchant Account and are in the process of acquiring our Secure Certificates for credit card transactions.  I would much rather be practicing meditation and yoga than dealing with these types of issues, but what to do, we do after all live in a manifested world .

Free Yoga at Home Natural Weight Loss Program Details:

Class Structure: 

Each class session consists of 2 sections: Breathing exercises (pranayama) and the Natural Weight Loss Yoga Set.  Unlike the other yoga sets on this website, which you can find in the Free Online Yoga Sets E-book, this particular set starts off with only a few exercises and then grows over time.  So it really helps those who are out of shape get more fit and healthy, before becoming more intense and involved.

As I mentioned above for effective weight loss a sensible diet should accompany your yoga regiment and below you will find important articles dealing with this subject in the Required Reading Section.  These articles will introduce you to Ayurveda (the Indian Science of Natural Healing) and suggest a Fat Burning Diet from this profound school.  Please try to integrate some of these guidelines into your diet and life-style as well.

The total time for this class is approximately 10-50 minutes / day.  Do the best you can and most importantly, walk the middle path with regard to each session.  DO NOT OVERDO OR OVER STRAIN and at the same time don’t have it be too easy either.

Natural Weight Loss via Yoga Program Syllabus:

The following describes the 2 sections comprising the 10-50 minute daily yoga and pranayama for this class.  The approximate total times for each section and set are also given.  Take more rest if you need to, or if you feel comfortable do the poses and exercises a little longer.  Each breathing exercise and the yoga set below is a link to the article with all the details you need.  Links are in green, please click them to go the article with all the details for that technique or set.  Video demonstrations are included there for free as well, so you can learn yoga in the comfort of your home.

Weight Loss Via Yoga at Home Program:

The program is designed to help you lose about 5 months a month.  Each day do the following till you feel you have achieved your weight loss goals…

Section 1: Breathing Exercises Section (Pranayama):  Total time 2-10 Minutes

• Bhastrika Yoga Breathing Exercise to Burn Fat for Natural Weight Loss & More: Start with Bhastrika Yoga Pranayama, doing it at a capacity which suits you for 1-5 minutes.

Section 2: Weight Loss Yoga Section:  Total time 5-30 minutes

• Online Yoga Exercises for Health Weight Loss:  Start practicing this set as described in the article.  You will be starting with just 2 exercises initially and slowly building up your capacity week by week.  If you are more fit you can start with more exercises.  As I mentioned earlier, this program is designed to help even those who are very overweight or out of shape, therefore it is scalable by design.

Free Home Yoga Natural Weight Loss Program Participation Guidelines

Following are the guidelines which I suggest we follow…

• Please post all comments, questions and feedback in the comments section of this post.  This way all will benefit from the discussion.  Feel free to ask questions or discuss issues, as that is one of the main reasons for this particular class format.  Of course, you are free to email me as well if you would like the discussion to not be public.

• If you like, you can indicate with a comment that you have completed your daily session.  Could be as short as "did it", or of course could be questions, issues or more detailed feedback.  The hardest part with a daily yoga and exercise practice is establishing consistency and regularity and I think having to acknowledge that you completed your daily practice will help in facilitating that.  In addition, your comments will inspire others as well.
   
• Before starting your daily yoga session, take a moment and tune in to your higher self for guidance and protection.  At the end of every session, visualize yourself and the world as you would like it to be.

• Do the best you can and modify the techniques as required.  It is more important to do something, than be overwhelmed and not do anything at all.

• I wish you all a wonderful learning and transforming experience and hope this program really helps you lose the weight you want and get into great shape :-).

• Below, in the related articles and series sections you will find other free yoga and meditation classes; feel free to take advantage of them.

• If you are interested in becoming a certified gentle yoga and meditation teacher you can check out the online program I am offering here:  Meditation Teacher’s Training and Certification Program.

Yoga Moves for Detoxification

Yoga and Meditation to Detox Mind and Body

Each month we have been practicing together a particular yoga move, pranayama technique and meditation, in order to enhance our skills and learn from each other.  It is time now for the yoga posture for March, as well as the pranayama and meditation for this month.  These moves and techniques will concentrate on helping us detox our entire body and mind. 

As you will recall, we started this series with just doing yoga moves, but as this caught on, we added yoga breathing exercises and meditations to this concept.  Below you will find all the techniques that we have practiced so far.  Following that are the techniques I suggest to add to your practice for March, or if you are starting out, they are great techniques to help you establish a daily yoga and meditation routine.

Yoga Poses for Each Month

September:  Yoga Pose for Thighs - Frog Pose (Thighs/Butt)

October:      Important Hatha Yoga Posture for Healing - Forward Bend (Thighs/Buttocks)

November:   Yoga to Work on Your Aura (Aura and Magnetic Field)

December:   Kundalini Yoga Exercise for Emotional Health - Cat-Cow  (Back and Emotional Balance)

February:    Daily Yoga Cobra Pose for Healthy Back

Pranayama for Each Month

February:   Kapalbhati Yoga Video for Daily Practice

Meditation for Each Month

Yoga Move to Detox Your Body:

For the month of March I think the following Kundalini Yoga Exercise will be excellent to do.  You may have put on some extra pounds over the long winter months and the following exercise will help you get your abs back into share.  It will also help you detox your body and give your digestive system a much needed boost.

This set is called Pavan Sodhung Kriya and you will find the full details in the following article: Natural Liver Detox - Pavan Sodhung Kriya.

All the details in that article and please do read it before starting this practice, but here is a quick easy for how to do this practice this yoga sequence to help you detoxify your system.

• Start as illustrated in Picture #1, flat on your back with your hands underneath your buttocks to support your lower back.

• Inhale deeply, hold your breath in for 15 seconds and come into Illustration #2, with legs raised 60 degrees from the ground and knees straight.

• Exhale as you bend them and bring your knees towards your chest (Illustration #3).  Hold your breath out now for 15 seconds.

• Inhale again, hold your breath in for 15 seconds and come back into Illustration #2 position, with legs raised 60 degrees.

• Finally exhale and return to the starting position, and hold your breath out of 15 seconds.  Inhale, hold breath in for 15 seconds as you raise your legs back up to 60 degrees and continue.

• Continue with this pattern for the remainder of the exercise.  Start with 1-3 minutes and build up from there. 

• Very important, please do not try 15 seconds right off the bat, start with 5 seconds or less and make gentle progress as you develop your capacity.

Yoga Pranayama for Daily Practice:

For the yoga breathing exercise for March, I suggest we all practice the following deep breathing exercise.  This exercise is great for improving your lung capacity and getting your energy going.  It will also help detoxify your system and get rid of deep seated toxins. Here is the link to the article with all the details, which also has a video demonstration of this terrific exercise.

Meditation for March Practice:

As I mentioned last month I was going to start with my favorite meditation Zen Meditation Technique, but because I was getting so much positive feedback with So Hum Mantra Meditation, I had decided to go with that instead.  So for this month, let us do Zen Meditation Technique together and enjoy it’s enormous benefits.  This is perhaps the best meditation to detoxify your mind .

Here is the article with a video demonstration and details for this technique:
