Advancing your Practice

As a Vedic Meditator, you can continue to grow your practice through group meditations, advanced courses, rounding retreats, and one-on-one mentoring.

Group Meditation

Group meditations are offered both online and in person, inviting you to settle into stillness, deepen your technique, and experience the power of meditating together. After our shared meditation, we open space for uplifting discussion to expand consciousness, refine your understanding of the technique, and explore questions that naturally arise as your practice evolves. Through a Vedic lens, we look at how meditation influences the mind and nervous system, helping you integrate this practice more fully into everyday life—and you’re welcome to join our WhatsApp community to keep the conversation going, ask questions, receive support, and stay connected to others on the path.

Info: Offered online and in person · 60 minutes
Exchange: Free
Pre-requisites: Open to anyone who has completed the Vedic Meditation Course with Emily or another qualified teacher.

Rounding

Rounding is a powerful sequence of gentle asanas (yoga poses), pranayama (a specific breathing technique), and meditation. This technique functions like industrial-strength meditation, triggering deep nervous system release and accelerating the purification of stress from the body. The result is greater clarity, creativity, and a more expansive meditative experience. Once learned, Rounding can be incorporated into your home practice whenever you want more rest, heightened expansion, or a reset from the demands of daily life. Though its effects are profound, the sequence itself is gentle, accessible, and suitable for all levels.

Advanced Knowledge Courses

Emily facilitates advanced knowledge courses as taught by Thom Knoles for students who wish to deepen their understanding of the Veda and expand their experience of consciousness. Exploring the Veda is a six-part series that reveals how to live in alignment with the laws of Nature, while Mastering the Siddhis is a six-part training in the applications and techniques of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras. Together, these courses offer profound insight into how wisdom becomes a lived, embodied reality.
