Trataka Training Courses

Build a thoughtful foundation in concentration practice.

Trataka is a traditional yogic concentration practice associated with steady gazing and inward attention. Training explores its context, preparation and the distinction between different forms of practice.

Choose by experience and purpose

Choose your trataka pathway

Learn through guidance, reflection and a measured approach. The emphasis is on developing an informed practice rather than forcing the eyes or promising changes to eyesight or consciousness.

Trataka training is not eye treatment and does not promise improved vision, psychic abilities or a specific spiritual outcome.
