The Meditation and Awakened Living Satsang

Wednesdays 8pm

Come experience "Living Meditation" with Harshada every Wednesday at Vira Yoga in Soho.

Every week, Harshada leads a community of students into deep meditation and lasting experiences of transformation and awakening. In each gathering, Harshada creates an atmosphere of true togetherness and leads the group in an inspired and joy-filled satsang. Ample time for questions and answers and sessions of guided meditation help each student find their own unique path into the heart.

Harshada has a way of making meditation easy, pleasurable, and even fun. He sees meditation as a means to an end - the end being a happier, more connected, heart-centered life.

He has shown thousands of students throughout the world how meditation can be an essential part of their life and sees these weekly classes as a way for new and old students to come together and encounter the inner living energy that pulsates within all hearts. No two classes will ever be the same and each promises to be a profound experience.
