Meditation is natural and deeply rewarding. It offers a direct and intuitive perception of higher states of consciousness such as inner peace, love, vitality, creativity and joy. Its time-tested benefits have been corroborated by modern scientific testing.
What you’ll learn in these classes is the heart of an ancient tradition that has been passed down from teacher to student for thousands of years. Our instructors are either life-long meditators themselves, who have helped thousands learn to meditate over the past 40+ years, or they are graduates from the Ananda Meditation Teacher Training program, steeped in their own practice and ready to help others learn meditation. These classes are open to all. There is no expectation or requirement for membership at Ananda.
We offer classes both in Seattle and on the east side in Bothell.
