Master the Art and Skill of Relaxation
SELF-PACED ONLINE COURSE: 4 Modules, 46 Lessons, 5 Meditations, 10 CPD points
Constant stress impacts your health, vitality, sleep, and all of your life experiences. Stress diminishes your life-force, weakens your immunity and makes you vulnerable to physical and mental illness.
The good news is that you can develop the skill of relaxation and create a healthy relaxation baseline.
This means, that rather than being stressed all the time and being prone to mental and physical illness, calmness and resilience becomes your natural state of being. This enables you to rest more deeply, recuperate your energy, and recover from illness and stresses when they occur.
If you are feeling overwhelmed by constant stress and its impact on your health and well-being, the Relaxation Meditation course is designed just for you. This course equips you with the skills to manage stress effectively and create a foundation of calm and resilience.
Imagine being able to handle stress as it occurs, boost your immunity, and reduce tension anytime, anywhere.
With this course, you’ll learn to handle stress as it arises, improve your immune response, and develop greater resilience.
This course offers authentic training that combines yoga and meditation with Western medical knowledge to help you achieve deep, embodied healing.
The combination of theory and meditation techniques provides you with understanding and the tools to achieve deep relaxation and heal from chronic stress and fatigue.
You’ll gain valuable insights into how stress affects your body and mind and learn practical techniques to release tension, transforming stress into positive energy. By doing this you reset your relaxation baseline.
Resetting your relaxation baseline means that your levels of tension decrease and your levels of relaxation increase. You store relaxation rather than tension resulting in great inner resilience.
Don’t let stress control your life. Learn to manage stress and prevent disease through relaxation meditation.

“The relaxation meditation course gave me excellent skills to pinpoint and release stress from my body and mind and superb coping strategies for high-stress situations. I loved the interactivity - creating/uploading my Sankalpa (resolve) and monitoring my stress (and relaxation) levels throughout the course. My growing awareness and ability to let go of stress at will is a godsend. Having direct contact with teachers Dr Swami Shankardev and Jayne Stevenson throughout the course was a blessing.”

“After taking your online relaxation meditation course, relaxation is becoming more natural in my daily activities, such as riding my bike to work, sitting at my desk, in meetings, talking to colleagues, and riding home in the rain. It's great to have learned the importance of relaxation, as I had never experienced meditation from that perspective before. It was also simply explained! I love that!”

Dr. Swami Shankardev Saraswati
& Jayne Stevenson.
We have dedicated our lives to exploring and sharing ancient wisdom through modern practices. With our extensive backgrounds in yoga, meditation, and Western medicine, we understand the power of integrating ancient wisdom with modern scientific knowledge.
Our belief and drive lies in the importance of addressing the mind, body, and spirit for true healing and wellness. This course provides a holistic framework that helps individuals not only manage stress but also build a foundation of relaxation that supports long-term health and vitality using a unique blend of yoga and relaxation techniques that have been proven to support overall health and well-being.
Constant stress is not just a mental burden; it diminishes your life-force and makes you vulnerable to illness.
The Relaxation Meditation Course is your key to reversing this trend and establishing a healthy relaxation baseline.
“Swami Shankardev’s many years of intense yoga practice under the guidance of an accomplished master and personal experience of deep meditation and concentration provide him with firsthand knowledge and understanding of states of expanded consciousness that he aims to impart to his students and listeners. Consequently, his meditation instructions are simple yet powerful way of inducing a relaxation response and a healing sense of calm and serenity in beginners and a deeper meditative state and feeling of bliss in more experienced practitioners. ”

“Thank you so much, Big Shakti, for your excellent relaxation meditations. I have practiced almost daily for a year now, and it has brought me out of a severe exhaustion and depression. I have learned so much about myself and the importance of relaxation from this wonderful transformative practice. It's also made me a much better yoga teacher, as I now feel much freer from my own tensions and repressions. I also more fully understand the depth of exhaustion in our culture, and the importance of true deep relaxation. I now realize that we hold tensions on many levels, some very deep and subtle and not easily accessed or even recognized by us”
