Daily Practice, 6 to 8 AM Nepal Time
Morning Meditation in Kathmandu, Live Online
A two-hour guided meditation every morning, from 6:00 to 8:00 AM Nepal Time, live online on Zoom or Google Meet, led by Swami Anish Ji. Join from anywhere. Pay per session, weekly or monthly, with recordings for any morning you miss. Beginners and experienced meditators are both welcome.
What is the daily morning meditation in Kathmandu?
The daily morning meditation is a two-hour guided session run by Jivan Parivartan every day from 6:00 to 8:00 AM Nepal Time. It is live online on Zoom or Google Meet, so you can join from Kathmandu or anywhere else. A teacher leads every session.
Each day of the week has its own focus: mindfulness, breathwork, chakra meditation, loving-kindness, mantra, visualisation, and silent sitting with questions on Sunday. Over a week you practise a full range of techniques, and over time that becomes a regular habit.
You can come every day or only on the days that suit you. If you miss a morning, you can catch up with the recording.
The session is led by Swami Anish Ji, our Sound Healing Therapist. There is no app and no homework. You log in, practise with the group and get on with your day. To see our other meditation programs, including the 10-day online retreat, visit our meditation in Kathmandu hub.
Why meditate in the morning, every day?
Early morning is a traditional time for meditation in yoga practice. It is quiet, and most people have not yet started on the day's work and messages.
A fixed start time, a live teacher and other people practising with you make a daily habit easier to keep than practising alone with a recording.
Coming regularly matters more than any single long session. Regular students often say their mornings feel calmer and their thinking clearer, and many find a daily practice helps with stress and sleep.
What does the 2-hour session contain, day by day?
Every session runs 6:00 to 8:00 AM Nepal Time and includes meditation, breathwork and mindfulness. Each day also has its own focus, shown below. The days follow the calendar in Nepal, so in the Americas each session falls on the evening before.
- Monday
Mindfulness meditation
Watching thoughts and the present moment without judging them, to start the week with a clear head.
- Tuesday
Breathwork (pranayama)
Breathing techniques to calm the mind and give the body energy.
- Wednesday
Chakra meditation
Attention on one energy centre each week, moving through all seven over time.
- Thursday
Loving-kindness (metta)
Building kindness towards yourself and other people.
- Friday
Mantra meditation
Repeating traditional Sanskrit mantras to quiet the mind and hold attention.
- Saturday
Guided visualisation
Guided imagery for setting intentions and letting go of what feels stuck.
- Sunday
Silent meditation and Q&A
Silent sitting, then open discussion. Ask questions and talk about your practice.
What is taught: the pranayama and meditation techniques
You learn the techniques by doing them, morning by morning, with a teacher guiding each step. You do not need to know them beforehand. Across the week you practise:
- Breath awareness: following the natural rhythm of the breath to settle the mind
- Pranayama: breathing techniques to calm the mind and lift energy
- Body scan: moving attention through the body to let tension go
- Mantra repetition: using sound and repetition to steady the mind
- Visualisation: guided imagery to calm and focus the mind
- Loving-kindness (metta): building goodwill towards yourself and others
- Chakra meditation: bringing attention to the body's energy centres
- Silent sitting: on Sundays, followed by questions and answers
To study pranayama, mantra and meditation in more depth, see our 200-hour teacher training, which includes 25 hours each of meditation, of pranayama and bandha, and of mantra and relaxation.
