What is Dhyana?

In Patanjali’s eight-limbed yoga tradition, Dhyana refers to sustained meditative concentration. During the retreat, participants study Samarth’s approach and follow a structured sequence of practices over four months.

Who can take part?

The retreat is open to those who are currently taking or have completed MOD. Dhyana practices build on the sequence and terminology introduced in MOD.

The programme may be taken once, in accordance with the format established by its creator.
