We all know meditation is good for us and we all know we "should" do it. Maybe we even try... sometimes... But, in the midst of our busy, constantly-overfull lives, meditation often becomes just one more thing we are failing at. One more thing we don't have time for.Happily, it doesn't have to be this way. We will spend an hour learning what it actually means to be mindful, and how to easily incorporate mindfulness into our lives just as they are now. No more trying to change. No more "failing". Discover how to live your life more mindfully, and walk away with several tools to incorporate a mindfulness practice that is just right for you.Register Here.

The traditional yoga practice was originally designed to support extended periods of meditation, and yet most of us, as yoga teachers, received very little formal training in meditation. Your 200-hour training prepared you to guide your students through an in-depth yoga practice. Now, it is time to give them the next step. Meditation.
The research surrounding meditation shows it is powerfully potent, physically and chemically changing your brain, boosting immune function and increases positive emotions.
Sacred Chill {West}'s Meditation Immersion is designed for Yoga Teachers looking to incorporate meditation into their classes as well as for those wanting to deepen a personal meditation practice. In this 15-hour course, you will:
• Experience extended meditations• Learn how to modify meditative postures for comfort• Discover the differences between the most common meditation styles• Create your own guided meditations• Find your meditative voice through practice teaches with the guidance of a mentor
Expect to walk away comfortable with a silent, at-home meditation practice as well as ready to incorporate mini-meditations into your yoga classes. This is part of our CEU program, designed to give experienced teachers additional tools to create a speciality as a professional teacher.
