Learn the Transcendental Meditation technique
The Transcendental Meditation technique is the most widely practiced, thoroughly researched, and extensively applied program of personal development in the world.
It is a simple, natural, effortless procedure practiced 20 minutes twice each day while sitting comfortably with the eyes closed.
It’s not a religion, philosophy, or lifestyle.
More than six million people worldwide have learned the Transcendental Meditation technique — people of all ages, cultures, and religions.
The TM technique is so simple and effortless that even 10-year-old children can learn and practice it — even children with ADHD.
Do you already practice the TM technique? Then you can learn an advanced TM technique to deepen your experience.
Learn Maharishi Yoga Asanas and Maharishi Self-Pulse reading
- Maharishi Yoga asanas — in this class you’ll learn simple yet profound set of Yoga stretching exercises as well as an understanding of how these exercises benefit your health and support your meditation practice.
- Maharishi Self-Pulse reading — in this class you’ll learn the ancient practice of Nadivigyam, self-pulse diagnosis, for determining balance and imbalance in your body. Taking your own pulse in this way actually helps restore balance to your physiology.
