Creating a Meditative Environment

Ideal locations are technology-free havens, blocking out mind-distracting sounds. Natural light-filled spaces are favored over flickering electrical lighting.

Choose a spot with natural heat, cooling, and fresh air

Choose locations with minimal synthetic materials, opting for wood floors treated with natural oils and waxes for less static electricity and better yoga meditation.

Performing Poses Suited to Meditation

Achieve good posture for meditation by sitting on the floor or a chair. Avoid rigidity and feel free to choose a comfortable position. If crossing legs, alternate which leg is on top during each meditation session.
