Raja Yoga meditation is a form of meditation that is accessible to people of all backgrounds. It is a meditation without rituals or mantras and can be practised anywhere at any time.

Join us for an energizing activity to boost your health and wellness. Learn tools and techniques to create work-life balance, reduce stress, generate positive emotions, become more cheerful.

The system of Raja Yoga Meditation is based on self-discovery. The technique works on emerging the inner virtues of Peace, Love and Happiness which are within each individual, but in a merged form. Raja Yoga is an inside-out concept whereby transforming the inside (individual) helps transform the outside (society / world). Developing Inner Peace helps in building World Peace. Moreover, as the virtues within an individual develop, he / she undergoes a paradigm shift towards a more holistic living, with a focus on sustainability of not just human life but of the ecosystem.

Raja Yoga believes that most illnesses of the body have their roots in the mind. As an individual strengthens the mind through this meditation technique, typically it has been proved that it does not just cure existing illnesses but also enhances the capacity to ward-off future incidences of illness.
