Meditation Teacher Training with Betsy Weiner

Hosted by UP Yoga

This training is rooted in the wisdom of Tantra, the ancient yogic science of collecting and directing our life force (prana). These practices are utilized to cultivate clarity, ease, and steadiness. In this four-week training you’ll learn the foundations for teaching meditation techniques sourced in the tradition of the Himalayan masters. The Tantric tradition teaches that when we shift our inner space, we can radiate outward to affect our outside circumstances. If you are interested in enhancing your teaching, and sharing the limbs of yoga beyond asana, this training is for you.
