“The remote control of our mind should rest firmly in the palm of our hand.” - Amma

IAM® is a short and simple approach to meditation developed by Amma that anyone can learn. The technique consists of energizing exercises - yogic postures, followed by meditation. It integrates movement, breath, sound, and visualization. When practiced with dedication, it is designed to bring integration into our lives - of body, mind, intellect and heart.  IAM-20  is a modified version of the original IAM practice. It takes 20 minutes per day.

Benefits of Meditation: Research indicates that a short period of daily practice of meditation can effectively lead to reduced stress, increased energy levels and productivity, and improved health and well-being.

Registration

The course is free to attend; however, registration is required. Register here.

A vegetarian lunch will be available at 1:00 pm.  Suggested donation is $7 per person. Lunch RSVP is included with registration. Register by Thursday March 19th at 10 pm if you wish to be included for lunch.

IAM Guided Meditation Sessions are for IAM graduates who have completed the full IAM Course. The steps of the technique are verbally guided, and there is an opportunity for extended silent meditation together. Guided meditation helps to deepen and support an individual's daily practice, and meditation in a group is beneficial for all who participate. Depending on the session, it is about 30 - 60 minutes. Please contact each instructor/team to register: include your full name, when and where you attended the IAM Course, and the day of the week/time of each session you wish to sign up for.
