Preview
Mindfulness is a transformative practice that involves deliberately focusing your attention on the present moment without judgment. It empowers individuals to observe their thoughts, emotions, and sensations as they arise, fostering self-awareness and emotional regulation.
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 Mindfulness Teacher course with an additional 23 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.
