poise of the soul: 25 hour meditation teacher training

Facilitated by: Shonna Lamb, E-RYT500, YACEP

Program Intention :
HRIDAYA:
In Sanskrit, the word for heart is hridaya, which also means “sacred center.” The nuances of the mind can become apparent here, and there are three ways of knowing the spiritual heart. We can read about it in books, a competent teacher can teach us, or we can go directly to the source within our own heart. The Bhagavad-Gita tells us that direct experience through meditation on the heart will bring answers to previously unanswered questions that neither books nor teachers could have explained. Open to the heart while in meditation and listen without judgment, keeping an open mind to the truth.

The aim for this program is to build up practices of the Heart; think sustained attention and conscious awareness in elevated states such as equanimity, presence, pleasure, loving kindness and loving awareness. The program manual will provide techniques to share with your students, deepen your own practice, understand energetics behind this sacred space to build regenerative energy.

Together, we'll meet in an inclusive and welcoming online community to discuss our experiences and study various aspects of building meditation practices to get a real handle and tactile understanding on them. Some terms of study include:

  • Conscious relaxation

  • Cultivating safety in a meditation practice

  • Building virtue - loving kindness, gratitude, equanimity

  • Building the lens of loving awareness so everything isn’t just analysis

  • Opening to the Field and creating an energetic Taproot to source

  • Grounding and Receiving energy

  • Symbols of the Energetic Heart

This online program will be live for 2 Hours per Monday (6p - 8p MST). 

2026 Dates are: 
January 5 + January 19
February 2
March 2 + March 16

Program cost is $450 + GST. Spot can be secured with a non-refundable $150 deposit to: popupyogalethbridge@gmail.com. 

The material and content is yours to connect to at your own pace over our time together. Each week, a contemplation, practice and technique will be shared to the group.

We will meet three times and then have 6 weeks to run the practices through our system, explore writing scripts and dive into self-inquiry. We meet in March to close our time together.

The recommendation is to set aside 10-15 minutes each day from Jan 1 - Mar 31 to have a seated meditation and attend the live sessions as much as possible (or review the recordings within 2 days of meet up).

Spaces are limited.
