On the 21st of December 2024, on the day that was officially declared World Meditation Day by the United Nations, the founding of our non-profit Association of Himalayan Yoga Meditation (AHYMSIN) Switzerland was made public.

This unanimous acceptance by 193 nations is a true testament that the world leaders are now finally recognising the importance of meditation practice in holistic wellbeing of individuals, societies, nations, and the entire world. The World Meditation Day, which falls on the day of the winter solstice, will surely bring more awareness to the practice of meditation at a global level.

It is a season that naturally invites to transformation and inner reflection.

On 29 September 2024, we celebrated a truly special moment when the Hungarian community welcomed us as newly graduated teachers of the 6th TTP programme, bringing the number of Hungarian teachers graduated to 129.
