30 hrs Foundations of Teaching Meditation and Mindfulness Online Certificate for Yoga Teachers

Expand your client base and skills, develop and diversify your own meditation practice, by certifying as a Yoga Alliance Meditation and Mindfulness Teacher!

On this live online course Charlie will guide you through the practice and teaching of more than 8 different meditation techniques PLUS the theory, history, benefits, science, practice, nuances and differences between meditation and mindfulness.  You will learn (almost!) everything there is to know about meditation and mindfulness, how to create your own self-practice, and how to teach it to your students.  Learn how to make meditation interesting, simple and practical for yourself and your clients, while developing and diversifying your own practice. Just like with teaching yoga, you can still teach others meditation, while evolving within your own practice!

Indiv Yoga is a Yoga Alliance YCEP (Yoga Continued Education Provider). Yoga Alliance requires Yoga Teachers to complete 30 hours of Continued Education every 3 years (min 10 hours must be contact hours – in person or live online with the teacher).

This Friday to Sunday course will consist of live online classes, practice teaching hours, and recording yourself teaching 3 meditations to a fellow student as your practical exam.  You will then have a further 2 weeks to complete your self-study and journaling coursework hours.

This course is called the ‘foundations of teaching’ because in order to become a good meditation teacher for your clients, you must establish a regular meditation practice yourself.  This course will give you the tools and knowledge you need to stick to a regular practice and help others do so too!

On this course you will learn:

  • The history and philosophies of meditation and mindfulness
  • The benefits of meditation and mindfulness
  • What meditation is and what it is not
  • How to cultivate your own practice
  • Various techniques and how to teach them confidently and professionally
  • How to give meditation class privately, in groups, online and in corporate settings.
  • Issues you may encounter teaching meditation
  • Teaching meditation and mindfulness especially for anxiety
  • The importance of breathing in meditation
  • Demystifying meditation in the modern world
  • And more!
