Supplemental Private Tutoring and Other Offerings:
The 50-Hour Truly Well Meditation Certification certifies you to teach and lead meditation and Yoga Nidra, as opposed to the other limbs of yoga, such as Asana. Some students prefer to supplement their training in meditation with one-on-one deep-focus tutoring and instruction, which is available from Truly Well on an hourly basis. This can help students with any particular challenges with subject matter and provide students with deeper insight on their own, personalized style of meditation instruction and practice. Simply include a note to Truly Well in conjunction with your registration to discover whether this heightened attention is right for you.
Truly Well is also pleased to offer intensive one-on-one tutoring and certifications with respect to Ayurvedic Consultation methodologies and Yoga Asana instruction. If you are interested in our additional training offerings, contact us!
Minimum Registration Requirement:
In order to make this Meditation Teacher Training (MTT) as valuable, enriching, and accessible as possible, we require the registration of at least five trainees. While we do not anticipate not reaching our minimum, in the event that we have insufficient sign-ups, we reserve the right to postpone or cancel this round of MTT. If that is the case, we will contact those who have registered with options to either hold their spot for our next MTT (typically in the Spring or Fall), at their current paid rate, or to receive a full refund.
*Testing your systems is important prior to your registration. Note that if you should have unexpected technical difficulties during the live course, while refunds cannot be given for such technology failures, Truly Well will work diligently with you to deliver the 50-Hour Truly Well Meditation Certification Course via alternative means. Truly Well wants you to have what you need to accomplish your goals in meditation, even when technology can unexpectedly fail us.
