Meditation is a transformative practice that empowers individuals to cultivate inner peace, clarity, and well-being. It involves training the mind to focus on the present moment, fostering deep self-awareness and a profound sense of calm.
This is the YACEP version of the course designed for Registered Yoga Teachers (RYTs) looking to complete Continuing Professional Development (CPD). It is the same as our standard Meditation Teacher course with an additional 22 hours of personal practice.
About Level 2
Level 2 is an introductory level qualification suitable for all. They typically do not require prior experience and will take 6-12 weeks to complete based on studying one module per week. See the course description for information specific to this course.
