I highly recommend this course. It delved into many different styles of meditation, along with plenty of examples, while also highlighting the roots and ethics of yoga. I look forward to creating meditation classes for my students. Thank you, Amanda.
Matthew Reed
This course was absolutely fantastic. It was delivered to a high standard and was very understandable and easy to follow. I couldn’t rate this course any higher and if you are wanting to learn about Meditation and the teaching of it. DO THIS COURSE. Sorry I must use my calming voice. Sign up for this right now. The teacher is amazing and I’m truly so pleased I did it.
Jessica Mae
I am really enjoying this course as a teacher, the meditations are amazing, I used the Mindfulness Meditation in my Vinyasa 7am class. Students were so happy, sent them home with the journal to record their own meditation journey. Giving myself more time out of the day for meditation has shown such a difference in my everyday life
Amanda Moore
Amanda offers truly wonderful classes, and I had the pleasure of taking her chair ce course and meditation last year as part of my ongoing ce journey. Her class felt like a breath of fresh air, and I genuinely enjoyed every moment of it. She is incredibly responsive and always ready to answer any questions you may have, which made a huge difference for me. I wholeheartedly recommend taking any course she offers, especially this one. It has helped me immensely, and I believe it can do the same for you!
