SAHAJ SAMADHI MEDITATION
An effortless meditation technique that infuses the mind with peace, clarity and creativity.
Meditation for the busiest of minds
Happiness can seem elusive at times, a distant dream, or so fleeting you wonder where it went. The mind swirls around, crammed with thoughts. Disconnection and stress easily become the norm.
In today’s society, it is more important than ever to gain tools to connect to the wellspring of calm and peace within you, in the here and now. And that’s what meditation does. It gives you access to the stillness that resides deep within, a place that is steady, at ease, clear, and relaxed regardless of what’s happening around you. Science is now showing us what ancient yogis knew thousands of years ago, meditation works. And what’s even better? Anyone can meditate, even the busiest of minds!
Globally celebrated meditation master, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, will share with you ancient techniques for contemporary life, to enable you to fill up from the inside so when the inevitable challenges of life arise, your connection to the fullness, and steadiness within, remains.
Knowing how to manage the mind is fundamental to inner peace, joy, and a centered state of mind. When the mind is calm, everything in life gets sweeter—relationships improve, stress is reduced, mood lifts, and there is a greater sense of ease and joy each day.

Yoga Sutras
With master yogi Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
April 10-12 • Boone, NC
What are the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali?
The sutras are practical by nature and remain as relevant today as when they were written. They comprise the eight limbs of yoga—the path to self-discovery and a roadmap to mastering the mind. Yoga postures (asanas) are the most well-known but are just one of the limbs—yoga is so much more. Each of the eight limbs speaks to an aspect of our being, offering a comprehensive guide to mind, body, and soul, and essentially to life and living yoga on and off the mat. Rich with knowledge and techniques to guide the mind, each sutra helps bring one's very being into full expression.
The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali are a text compiled more than 2,000 years ago by Indian sage Maharishi Patanjali and is the foundation of yoga.
