Life is too short to be unhappy. The stresses of modern life can sap our inspiration and drain our energy.

Vishoka Meditation is a complete system of meditation to reclaim your inner joy and train your mind to remain clear, focused, and joyful in all circumstances in life. It is simple, systematic, experiential, and accessible for all levels. Gentle movement and breath practices are used to prepare the body, balance the nervous system, and quiet the mind to guide you to experience the Vishoka—a state of inner joy.

Vishoka is more than technique. It is a living practice supported by a rich body of wisdom from ancient source texts, including the Yoga Sutra, Lotus Sutra, and Shiva Sutra, and refined over countless generations of practitioners and masters including Buddha, Patanjali, and a long line of Siddha masters.
