 === Nama Mantra ===
-'''Náma mantra''' is a preliminary form of meditation that may be taught to children after the age of five by a parent, sibling, or guardian. After the age of twelve, the child should take [[The Process of Initiation|initiation]] from an acarya in a more advanced form of yoga.<ref name="TPOI" />

 === Sahaja Yoga ===
-'''Sahaja yoga''' is the standard system of meditation system taught in Ananda Marga. It consists of six meditation lessons, using concepts and practices similar to ''astaunga yoga''. These are taught step by step over a period of time by one's acarya. As practitioners of this system of yoga are expected to practice ''[[asanas]]'', they must also maintain a sentient vegetarian diet.<ref name="TPOI" />

 === Prarambhika Yoga ===
-'''Prárambhika yoga''' is an elementary form of meditation. It consists of the first two lessons of ''sahaja yoga''. It is taught to those for whom it is inconvenient to do the more extensive forms of meditation in ''sádhárańa'' or ''sahaja yoga''.  As there is no requirement for ''ásanas'' in this system, there are no dietary restrictions. If one's circumstances change, it is possible to then learn the more advanced practices in the Ananda Marga system.<ref name="TPOI" />

 === Sadharana Yoga ===
-'''Sádhárańa yoga''' is an intermediate form of meditation. It is taught to children from the age of 12-16, to those for whom the standard ''sahaja yoga'' is inconvenient to practice, and to anyone else who for some other reason cannot practice ''sahaja yoga''. It does not include all of the meditation lessons of ''sahaja yoga'', and there are some differences between ''sádhárańa'' and ''sahaja yoga'' in the way that the lessons are taught. There are no dietary restrictions in ''sádhárańa yoga'', because ''ásanas'' are not required in this system. However, ''ásanas'' may be taught if deemed necessary.<ref name="TPOI" />

 === Vishesa yoga ===
-'''Visheśa yoga''' is an advanced form of meditation. It is for those who are adept in the practices of ''sahaja yoga'', who have an ardent desire to learn this higher yoga, and who can afford to devote sufficient time every day for the same. ''Vishesha'' is only taught by the [[Purodha|purodhás]] of Ananda Marga.<ref name="TPOI" />
