Program
Certifications

What can you expect?
Feel like you can’t catch your breath and are drowning in stress, anxiety, and experiencing burnout? Samyama Mindfulness Meditation Center gets it. They’ve been there. If you’re ready to come to the surface, or perhaps, you want to help others do the same, they’re so honored that you’ve found this course at this time.
The Samyama 100-hour, 14-day meditation teacher training course was designed to help you master the art of meditation, nervous system regulation, and natural relaxation. This course blends ancient wisdom with modern science to equip you with powerful tools for stress management, emotional resilience, and deep inner peace.
Samyama Mindfulness Meditation Center will be there to pass on techniques to regulate the nervous system, calm the mind, and create a longer lasting state of peace.
This program will be far more than just a certification. It’ll be a life-changing journey of personal growth and empowerment. Transform your own life and become a confident meditation teacher, guiding others to experience peace, presence, and purpose.
Course contents: What will you learn?
Meditation practices
Over the course of 14 days, you will be guided into the depths of different and potent meditation techniques by empowered teachers. You’ll experience diverse meditation practices, each drawing from different spiritual traditions and techniques.
Daily practices will help you discover which form of meditation works best for you, and will give you the ability to guide your future students. You will be taking part in two to four hours of meditation practice daily. This will progress over the 14 days, starting with about two hours daily to four hours by the end of the course.
Nervous system regulation and relaxation techniques
Gain a comprehensive understanding of the nervous system and the role that meditation can play in regulation. You’ll learn practical skills for fostering relaxation, emotional resilience, and stress management, enhancing both personal practice and teaching skills. These techniques can help you bring a sense of calm and balance to yourself and your future students.
Samyama’s style of yoga
While this course is focused on the art and teachings of meditation, you will be guided through 1.5 hours of daily yoga asana practice. For this reason, it’s useful to understand Samyama’s roots. Their asana practice is deeply rooted in Tantric Hatha yoga, a meditative style of yoga with a focus on the subtle energetic and spiritual dimensions of each pose.
You’ll get a taste of some of the classical asanas of Hatha yoga, gaining a better understanding of how they impact not just the body, but also your energy, emotions, mind, and spirit. You will also discover the relaxation gifts offered in Restorative yoga, Yin yoga, and Nidra yoga.
While Samyama Mindfulness Meditation Center values the physical aspects of yoga, their true emphasis is on the integration of mind, body, and spirit. If your priority is strict alignment and precision, their approach may not align with what you’re looking for.
Students will also be allowed to use the daily ‘asana yoga practice’ time to do a different self-practice (not guided), meditation self-practice, other movement practice, journaling, etc.
Subtle anatomy and physiology
Dive into the subtle anatomy essential for meditation, covering the nadis (energy channels), polarities (balancing opposing energies within the body), and energy flow principles from multiple traditions. You’ll also explore the physiological components of nervous system regulation, deepening your understanding of meditation’s impact on body and mind.
Sacred sound and silence
Explore the power of sound and silence in meditation and beyond. This includes chanting, mantras, and the meditative use of instruments like singing bowls, all designed to enhance relaxation and focus.
You’ll also learn the significance of silence and stillness as part of your powerful three-day silent retreat, which will be part of your course. You will be able to use your acquired skills to host your own short silent retreat.
Teaching and professional skills
Samyama Mindfulness Meditation Center loves sharing their passion for this path. They want you to develop all of the required teaching skills, from making meditation posture adjustments / recommendations to giving effective discourses and to tuning into the needs of the individual and the group.
Since the participants in this course are already teaching meditation or are avid long-time practitioners, the group will have ample opportunities to learn from one another through practicum hours, hands-on learning, and peer-to-peer feedback.
Samyama Mindfulness Meditation Center seeks a balance of practice, theory, and teaching formation in their program. This meditation teacher training course aims to help you build a solid self-practice, give you a strong understanding of the metaphysics of meditation, and provide you with the skills to deliver these teachings.

It’s also for experienced meditators looking to deepen their own practice and build the skills to teach with confidence and clarity.
If you are not a mental health professional or a meditation teacher, Samyama Mindfulness Meditation Center requires at least one of the following:
- 200-hour teacher training certificate (any school, any lineage, and doesn’t have to be Yoga Alliance-certified)

Location
Join Samyama Mindfulness Meditation Center in the middle of Ubud’s jungle in Bali for this profound training. The local Balinese Hindus live their practice through a strong belief in karma and acts of devotion - offering to the gods daily.
Ubud translates into ‘medicine’ and has always been a holy center for healing and purifying. It is hard not to feel the strong, yet nourishing energy - like a warm embrace - from Mama Bali.
The unique location is tucked away in a quiet neighborhood surrounded by jungle and rice fields in a tropical paradise. The retreat location is only a five-minute drive to town, but you will feel far away from the hustle and bustle.
It is an oasis of tranquility in the lush green rice fields. Nature's sounds are all around and beauty and sacredness are in each corner. The energy is also pure and light. It's perfect for meditation or a nice bite at a plant-based restaurant.
Food
Amazing healthy meals
All meals will be provided by Samyama Eatery and are included in the price. Healthy vegan and vegetarian dishes prepared with fresh ingredients will support your practice in a very pleasant way. They are all about wholesome, fresh, colorful, plant-based food made from scratch right there at their compassionate kitchen.
Samyama Eatery offers predominantly organic, locally sourced food and cares deeply about the planet as well as all life forms on it, including you! They also strive to create a kitchen with zero food waste.
The restaurant will share their love for healthy eating and living with you throughout the retreat. It would also be an amazing treat for your body to avoid consuming alcohol or tobacco during this event to support the deep work.
Samyama Eatery will be lovingly providing your meals throughout the duration of the TTCs and retreats. They offer a range of hot and cold dishes prepared with the freshest local ingredients, using organic produce whenever possible. All meals will be 100% vegan to keep you aligned with the yogic principle of ahimsa: do no harm.
Most meals will be served buffet-style and will vary daily. Drinks will also be included and a-la-carte menus are also available. The restaurant is open from 08:00 - 20:00 and you can order additional food, drinks, and desserts anytime during open hours.
Samyama Mindfulness Meditation Center's onsite restaurant is plant-based, almost entirely organic, and has gluten-free options.
They will ask for your dietary restrictions before you arrive and plan an appropriate menu with their kitchen in advance. They do accommodate some basic needs such as gluten-free food but for very specific needs, you may need to come prepared, bringing your special supplements or food items with you.
Samyama Mindfulness Meditation Center also has a small shared fridge in their lounge area. If you will be staying in the Samyama villa, you will have access to the shared kitchen and fridge. Private cottages have small kitchenettes as well.
