The "Yoga Meditation Studies and Practice" Department at Wonkwang Digital University, in collaboration with the Korean Society of Yoga Meditation Research and the Indian Embassy Culture Center, organized a series of four "Yoga Meditation Studies Workshop" events from May 31st to August 23rd. The workshops aimed to strengthen ties among students and alumni, deepen practical yoga training, and provide an immersive experience of Indian traditional yoga meditation.

Participants, including current students and alumni from various regions, attended the workshops held from 10:30 AM to 5:00 PM daily. Topics covered included yoga asanas, breathing exercises, mudra and pranayama meditation, as well as Indian traditional asanas, mantras, and techniques such as Nada Yoga and the ancient Indian meditation system, Nada Yoga. The fourth workshop focused on the traditional training methods practiced at the Ashram (retreat) in India, guided by yoga instructor Mr. Ashish Singh.

The workshops featured a mix of theoretical lectures and practical sessions, enabling participants to gain a deeper understanding of yoga and its practices. They also engaged in activities like yoga asanas practice, mantras chanting, and Nada Yoga sessions. The workshops concluded with a shared lunch, providing participants with a moment of introspection and connection with nature.

Wonkwang Digital University has maintained a long-standing partnership with the Indian Embassy Culture Center since 2015, focusing on yoga education and related activities. Professor Sukyung Park, the department head, expressed her gratitude for the workshop's impact and commitment to promoting further education and practical skills in Indian traditional yoga.
