About
I'm Tanya.
Mother, Franco-Aussie, and Vedic Meditation teacher.
I found Vedic Meditation in 2016, after a lifetime of anxiety. I was looking for a daily practice that, above all, I could stick to. I had tried other techniques, but none had given me the results I was hoping for.
I met my teacher "by chance", and learnt to meditate just a few days later. The profound benefits I have experienced led me to share this technique with others. Today, I am the only Vedic Meditation teacher based in Paris, and one of only two living permanently in France.
My training
My teacher training involved over 3,000 hours of study, including a 12-week immersion in the Indian Himalayas with masters of the Vedic tradition.
I was personally trained by Shri 1008 Mahamandaleshwar Maharishi Vyasanand Giri Maharaj — Thom Knoles, the first Westerner to be inducted as a Mahamandaleshwar in the Shankaracharya tradition. Thom was a devoted student of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, who brought meditation to millions of people in the West from the 1950s onwards. My direct link to the tradition's lineage ensures the gold standard of teaching.
I graduated with the special blessing and endorsement of Shri Shri 1008 Swami Kailashanand Giri, one of the highest authorities in the Vedic world.
The Veda
Vedic Meditation comes from the Veda, the body of knowledge of ancient India. Like the Veda, our technique is passed on from teacher to student, in person. We don't teach using a book or an app, each student receives their own personal mantra face to face, and then learns to use it effortlessly.
I teach in Paris, throughout France, and on request I travel across Europe to share this practice with you. I teach in English and in French.
