Free meditation podcasts now available
People tell us how much they enjoy the depth of “collective” meditation when they attend weekly classes. But for the times when it’s just not possible to attend, or you’re in a remote location, there are podcasts. Listen online or download a selection of our meditation radio program podcasts to your computer, mobile device, iPhone, iPad or iPod. Each podcast includes guided meditations, music and talks by Shri Mataji (founder of Sahaja Yoga).
To access the free podcasts, choose one of the following options:

During the year, we’ll keep in touch with details of special events such as courses, workshops, film showings and music events.
