The Sañyam Course (Level 1) is an advanced, intensive meditation program offered by the Art of Living Foundation that serves as a masterclass in deepening one"s inner awareness. Designed by Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, the course focuses on the final three limbs of Patanjali’s Ashtanga Yoga—Dharana (concentration), Dhyana (meditation), and Samadhi (equanimity)—collectively known as Sanyam. Participants learn to blend these practices to achieve a state of profound rest and "skill in action," which helps stabilize the mind, enhance intuition, and unlock hidden talents. Because it involves subtle energy work and specific yoga postures like Padma Sadhana, the program requires prerequisites, including completion of the Art of Silence and Sahaj Samadhi courses, to ensure students are prepared for this deep dive into consciousness.
