Lorin will be teaching a small-group masterclass on mantras for advanced meditation practitioners. He will be teaching the intricacies of Soma yoga and meditating with mantras through combination of virtual classes, private coaching, and individual practice.

This masterclass will include:

• 2 live (Zoom) 2-hour video classes with Lorin on mantra yoga. These classes will be recorded and the recording will be shared with all the participants within 1 day of the event.

  • This will be a small-size class (limited to 8 people) for people with a strong background in meditation. This masterclass is designed to allow people with established meditation practice and more advanced understanding of meditation to deepen their knowledge of mantras. We hope that the small size of the class will allow for enough time for everyone to ask their questions and get enough personal attention from Lorin.

• Drawing inspiration from classic mantras, Sanskrit mantras, bija mantras.

• Pranava (OM) as a primordial sound of creation.

• Four levels of being with a mantra

The above covers just the basics of mantra meditation. We hope that the 2 live classes will be driven not only by the material that Lorin wants to cover, but also by your questions and reflections.

Why study with Lorin?

Dr. Lorin Roche has been studying, teaching, and researching meditation since 1968. In the 70s he has been through a rigorous meditation teacher training within Transcendental Meditation, part of which was learning how to meditate with mantras (Soma Yoga). Then he spent years on listening to people and suggesting to them a mantra that they can meditate with.

He also listened for decades to the enchanting Sanskrit of the Vijnana Bhairava Tantra, from which came his luminous translation of this ancient text, The Radiance Sutras. He is currently working on his next book which talks about the secrets of mantric world. It would be a challenge to find anyone who knows more about meditating with mantras than Lorin.
