# Transcendental Meditation Canada
> Transcendental Meditation Canada (ca.tm.org) is the official site of the not-for-profit educational organization that teaches the Transcendental Meditation (TM) technique across Canada. Rooted in the Vedic tradition revived by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, TM is a simple, effortless practice done for 20 minutes twice daily and backed by decades of peer-reviewed research. The site explains TM's benefits, the four-day TM Course, certified teachers, pricing, and centre locations nationwide. It serves people seeking reduced stress, better sleep, improved cardiovascular health, and personal growth, directing visitors to complimentary introductory Preparatory Sessions.

Transcendental Meditation is taught only through the in-person, four-day TM Course led by a Certified TM Teacher. The first step is a free Preparatory Session. The pages below are the primary, content-rich resources on the Canadian site.
