Leading Guided Meditations Training
Begins Thursday May 16
3:30 - 5:30 pm (Eastern Time)
Online
Teach a course featuring guided meditations, designed especially for new meditators.
While guided meditations are popular, they often leave students in a quasi-nap experience. But the goal is Consciousness, not unconsciousness!
Learn how to bring your students from that starting point to deeper and more powerful inner experiences. You will offer a new course, "Guided Meditations." It is very accessible for beginners, yet it moves them into silent meditations within four class meetings.
This training draws from important skills you learned in your prerequisite courses and takes you the next step. Here, you refine your ability to effectively lead others into a deeper inner state and develop their understanding of it. Learn to lead them outside their comfort zone, supporting and guiding them all the way, as they discover the inner infinity that is the goal of yoga.
Your 16 class meetings are all online. It includes your DTS (Develop Your Teaching Skills), which means you will begin teaching your new course while you are in training. When you complete this course and the concurrent classes (see below), you are eligible to become a "Certified Guided Meditations Teacher." Click for more details.
The other classes in your certification track are all free. You will be deeply and truly prepared to lead people inward in a whole new way. And they will be inspired to meditate, even to learn more and contine to dive deeper within.
