Meditation Teacher Training Testimonials

“This was the best organized training I have ever had. Not only was it thorough, I never felt that anything was just a “filler.” Everything we did was on point and helpful in giving us the tools to teach meditation. The wisdom Savitri shared with us came through in every session, punctuated with one of the most delightful senses of humor I have ever encountered in a teacher. She had us laughing while still giving out important information. I never got tired of gazing at her as she talked because of the incredible light and love that shone from her eyes.”

“My meditation teacher training has most definitely been beneficial, not only to me but to 100’s of people who work at UCDavis. I moved to Davis from Los Angeles several years ago and took a position at UCDavis as the Director of the Faculty and Staff Counseling Center. As a psychologist by trade, I was given the opportunity to create programming that would meet the wellness and prevention needs of the faculty and staff.

Two years ago I decided to offer an Introduction to Meditation class for 8 weeks to assess interest. I now have to close each class with 100 members as well as many more names on a waiting list. If the room would allow for more, we have enough interest each quarter to fill a room of 200! The class is held for one hour during lunch. The first 20 minutes is spent introducing new meditation concepts, generating discussion and teaching different energization, meditation and lifestyle techniques. We use the Superconscious Exercises to create energy as well as a couple stretches before actually sitting down for the meditation. The last 20 to 30 minutes is actually spent in meditation practice.

Many of us know that meditating in large groups is quite a powerful experience. Many beginners report that they have much deeper experiences meditating with our group than when they are alone. I now teach both beginners and more advanced meditators together in an effort to enhance the beginners practice. The advanced meditators assist by talking about their experiences, especially as a “beginner” as well as addressing other issues that arise as people meditate more regularly. Although each time we offer the class, there are many new faces; about half of the old members return to take it again. I can not think of a better compliment.

Although meditation instruction is not a core service in my department at UCDavis, it has become a bit of my signature. Many people now know me as the “meditation teacher” and I am proud of the title.

I certainly give you permission to pass this information along. Thank you again for instructing me 6 years ago. I have touched many people as a result.”
