Learn How to Meditate with YogaRenew's New "Intro To Meditation" Course
HOBOKEN, N.J., Aug. 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- YogaRenew —the global leader in online yoga teacher training—recently launched "Intro To Meditation," a new beginner meditation course designed to teach practitioners how to meditate and help build a consistent meditation practice from scratch. The course, taught by Katonah Yoga teacher and Yoga Philosophy Scholar Ben Kalra, is now available on the YogaRenew app, giving beginners a simple, accessible way to learn how to meditate at their own pace.
The self-paced course begins with the fundamentals of how to meditate, answering the questions most beginners have before they ever sit down: what meditation actually is, where the practice comes from, how long a session should last, and what to do when the mind won't settle. From there, students learn how to set up a meditation space at home, establish a sustainable daily meditation practice, and overcome the common obstacles that cause new meditators to give up.
Students can explore eight foundational meditation techniques through a combination of instructional lessons and guided meditation sessions:
- Anapana (Breath Awareness)
- Pranayama
- Metta (Loving-Kindness)
- Japa (Mantra Repetition)
- Trataka (Gazing)
- Atma Vicara (Self-Inquiry)
- Body Scan
- Visualization
"I teach yoga, meditation, philosophy, and prāṇāyāma. I'm drawn to these practices because I live with an overactive mind and a sensitive nervous system. For many years, stress, anxiety, and depression shaped my experience," said Ben Kalra, instructor of the course. "Meditation and yoga offered practical tools that helped me build a steadier relationship with myself. What I share comes directly from my personal experience, as well as years of teaching and learning alongside my students. I'm here as a fellow practitioner sharing the tools and tips that have helped me along the way."
"Intro To Meditation" is included with a YogaRenew app subscription, which costs $84 for the annual plan or $11/month for a monthly plan. The app can be downloaded via the App Store or Google Play.
