What is Meditation in Motion®
To understand MiM, it is best to go to its source. Gurudev Amritji describes his awakening experience as,
“For the first time, I felt complete and total integration of body, mind, heart, and spirit. It was an experience of meditation in motion.” ~Gurudev Shri Amritji
From this shift, he shares:
- It opened an expanded state of consciousness that transformed my life.
- My mind rested free of judgment and analysis.
- My perception became clearer, deeper, and more precise.
- Effortless kindness and natural love arose within me.
- I recognized that life unfolds with its own rhythm and purpose, and I could relax into that flow.
- I stopped anticipating sorrow and instead entered meditation in each moment, making it the center of my life.

Here’s What Some Past Participants Have To Say
About Our Teacher Training
Indu, thanks for leading by the inspiration of being unabashedly You! For sharing from your deep places of knowing. For your sincerity and forthrightness. For your strength in stillness through times of constriction, confusion, or frustration. For being consistently vulnerable enough to allow the wisdom to transmit through you.
There are honestly no words to describe. Transformation would actually be an understatement.
A life altering experience, my yoga practice is forever changed now on and off the mat!
By far, this has been the most transformative program. I “see” more clearly and feel better equipped to handle life’s turmoil, to love unconditionally, and to trust the process!
Meet Your Instructor
Heather “Indu” Arena
As an Acharya and Senior Training Faculty, Indu reveals the depth, power, and profound simplicity of yoga in a richly steady, knowledgeable, and joyful way. From a young age, she contemplated and grasped the inner knowledge of existence. Her journey with yoga has shaped this understanding into form and structure, enabling her to transmit its subtle truths with Presence and Grace.
Indu believes that life is her yoga mat and has immersed herself in the practice in her meditation room and throughout her day as a meditation in motion. Her devotion led her to run a yoga studio that served as a spiritual community, and later to live, work, and teach at the Ashram. She continues to offer world-class programs and services at home in Michigan, online, and internationally.
Indu is the lead trainer for I AM Yoga© Meditation in Motion®, Putting It All Together, and Integral Breath Therapy within the I AM Yoga® 800-hour Yoga Therapy Program. Gurudev’s teachings and mentorship continue to uplift her spirit as she offers these profound teachings to others.
