The name of this class is Dharana: Dharana is the sanskrit word used to describe the 6th limb of yoga. Basically it means “single focus” or “concentration” and is the beginning of meditation.
“This very practice itself is called concentration: the mind running, you bringing it back: its running, you bringing it back. You are taming a monkey. Once it’s tamed it will just listen to you. You will be able to say, “Okay, sit there quietly.” And it will. At that point you are meditating. Until then you are training yourself to meditate. Training your mind to meditate is what is called Dharana.” Sri Swami Satchitanada
