Yoga is a regimented course involving ways of life both internally and externally. In addition to physical exercises, behavioural aspects are also part of the Yoga. Lifestyle is a very important part of Patanjali Yoga sutras. Yoga is a multifarious activity. In Yoga, a lot of physical and mental activities are required to be performed. Yoga is a continuous practice and requires some preparations as well. Meditation is quite a different field. Here, you don’t have to do anything while performing meditation. In fact meditation happens best when you don’t do anything.

Normally, in the beginning it should take about a month’s time to get on to the certificate course. You are able to perform all the 12 techniques in about 20 days at your leisure. Thereafter a session of about two hours is required with the founder to give you the nuances and finer points of the course. With passage of time, the skill gets sharpened and you become a full fledged Yoga and meditation teacher.

Yoga and meditation are though, separate in nature yet they can be very well combined. The combination will give the wholistic picture. For overall growth, the Yoga and meditation need to be combined. One must learn all the techniques of Yoga and meditation. Each technique has its own significance. After performing yoga techniques, if you perform meditation, the results are phenomenal. Because one of the requirements of sitting in meditation is that you should be little tired. After performing yoga asanas, you certainly become tired. So, both yoga and meditation can be combined. These are complimentary to each other.

Meditation is an important part of the whole yogic domain. Best effects of meditation are achieved after performing yogic practices when the body is little tired and needs rest and relaxation. In yogic practices you are with your body whereas in meditation practice you are with your body and mind together. It is not possible to separate the two. The one who is into yogic practices must follow meditation as well. The two are complimentary to each other.

Meditation must be practiced everyday. Everyday you want to remain hale and hearty. The only involvement is a little time. It is a very good deal that in a short span of time, you reap rich harvest of health and well being. Generally you should meditate two times a day i.e . just before lunch and also again just before dinner. In both the situations, you will be little hungry and little tired. These are the perfect conditions for meditation. Duration of meditation should be about 15 to 20 minutes. One should not over meditate. For our daily routine life, that much is enough. But you must meditate everyday.
