Therapeutic Meditation LIVE

Therapeutic Meditation LIVE is a weekly online meditation class rooted in yoga therapy, led by occupational therapist and certified yoga therapist Laura Goellner. It suits anyone who wants a short, steady practice for emotional regulation, nervous system balance, self-compassion and self-care, offered in a trauma-informed setting. Each session runs thirty minutes and is taught live over video, so it fits into a morning or a break in the day from wherever you are.

What to Expect

Each session opens with a brief mini-lecture introducing the skills behind that week's focus topic. From there, Laura guides a kosha-based meditation, working through the kosha system, the yoga therapy model of the layers of being human.

The practice moves inward in stages:

- Awareness of the body (Annamaya Kosha)
- Awareness of energy and breath (Pranamaya Kosha)
- Awareness of the mind and emotions, working with mantra (Manomaya Kosha)
- Stepping into the inner layers of wisdom and bliss to explore the week's topic (Vijnanamaya and Anandamaya Kosha)

Every session works with aspects of emotional and nervous system regulation, self-acceptance, self-compassion and self-care. The class ends with optional time for questions, sharing and listening to other participants' experiences. You are welcome to stay for this or leave. This closing segment is not recorded, which keeps it a space for open conversation.

If you cannot attend live, the practice recording stays on the class calendar for 72 hours and is then kept in the Video Library for later use.

Before You Go

The class is taught in English and takes place online, so you only need a device, a quiet spot and a few minutes to settle in beforehand. No prior meditation experience is listed as a requirement. The tradition is yoga and yoga therapy, and the kosha framework is explained as the practice unfolds.

Included are the live thirty-minute session, the opening mini-lecture, the guided kosha-based meditation with mantra, the optional sharing segment, and access to the recording for 72 hours, followed by its place in the Video Library. The recording does not include the sharing segment.
