8 Days Peaceful Meditation Retreat Siem Reap, Cambodia

Meditation methods in different physical positions

Generally, meditation is considered difficult especially by young and Western students because they are not used to sit for a long period of time. Meditation is a process of mind control. Therefore, with proper knowledge, it can be practiced in various physical positions such as sitting, lying standing, walking, dancing, and doing asana.

The mind can be controlled in all these physical positions using proper tools. In this retreat, Himalayan Yoga Retreat and Ayurveda Center will train you to meditate in all these different physical positions. Whichever physical position suits you, you can practice. You can choose one or more positions to meditate.
