Meditation Teacher Training
Meditation Teacher Training is an all-inclusive 6 hour course for yoga teachers and experienced meditators. This is not a cookie-cutter script memorization; this course lays out how meditation occurs, what impedes it, and how to guide others in meditation that feels natural. I have included the most impactful meditations I have ever experienced, give you an experience of them, and then laid them out for you to see how I constructed them, and options for how to modify them for a variety of situations with individuals and groups.
In addition, your purchase of this course makes me your personal mentor. To help you get the most out of this course, and of meditation in general, I am available to mentor you via Zoom, or in-person if you are local to Orange County, CA.
This video was taken from a live Meditation Teacher Training, so it will feel like you are right there in the room with me (while saving over a hundred dollars on the original course cost!) You will hear comments and feedback on the meditations which I hope will add to your experience. I look forward to shining the light for you on your path to being a meditation teacher!
