Mindfulness + Meditation. Week 1.

WELCOME to this 8 week online course. It is for personal growth but if you complete the weekly journal questions and give a class demo, you will complete the Teacher Training Module and thus should have the confidence to be able to facilitate your own meditation classes with others.

Each week there are 3 classes.

1 audio class and 2 video classes. The content of the audio class covers some of the content that will be practiced in the 2 video classes. The video classes also include refreshed practices and the latest research, along with your community contribution - raw conversations that make the theory and structure more meaningful.

The audios are LIVE recordings with trainees from The Sunrise Yoga & Meditation Academy (SYAMA) 200 hour teaching training program in 2020. When students share their experiences, their names have been deleted to protect privacy. Some weeks will include a downloadable handbook with content highlights.

PREPARATION

As you listen to each class, please have a pen and notebook by your side so you can record your insights and any questions you would like ask.

In some of the classes, you will hear myself and a few other women talk about their current challenges and 'mindful wins' of the week.

Please write down any questions you have and email them to me so we can discuss via a phone or in person conversation.

PDF Audio Transcript - sneak peak.

This Training is designed as an embodied experience rather than a mental exercise of gaining more information. I encourage you to LISTEN to the audio first and experience the meditations first before you go onto to read the transcript highlights. If you like, you can print it out, or just keep it as a digital resource. Week 1 PDF should have been emailed to you. Please contact Shivani if this is not the case.
