Vishoka Meditation:

The Heart of Yoga

A yogic meditation system designed to awaken inner joy and reconnect you with your essential Self

Join The Cohort

Vishoka Meditation Training

Vishoka Meditation is a complete yogic system for cultivating a clear mind, a steady nervous system, and a deeper connection to your essential Self. It’s accessible to healers, spiritual seekers, and meditation beginners—no prior yoga experience required. Yoga practitioners are also welcome and will find that this training strengthens the meditative and spiritual roots of their practice.

Rooted in the Himalayan tradition, Vishoka unites breath, prana, and focused awareness through a practical, step-by-step method. In yoga, Vishoka refers to a state beyond sorrow—free from fear, anger, and inner turbulence. This training gives you the precise techniques to begin accessing that state and bringing its clarity and balance into your daily life.

You’ll build a strong, grounded meditation practice—one that supports your healing, expands your awareness, and helps you live the deeper teachings of yoga with confidence and ease.
