What you will learn:
1. TIME Meditation
TIME meditation means Transformational Integral Meditation Education. It combines physical meditation, prana meditation, mind meditation, and psychic meditation as well as other techniques aimed at transforming oneself and connecting one with the higher Self.
TIME Meditation leads to a permanent shift in consciousness that is moving and transcending continuously toward the larger truths of life.
Practicing meditation induces harmony and peace, helping and supporting the endeavor to evolve constantly towards a positive manifestation of higher forces in practical life.
2. Meditation
Meditation, Yoga Nidra, and various relaxation techniques are included in the Meditation Teacher Training course in order to give you an experience of your pure nature, in which your ego dissolves and you'll find inner silence.
You will be introduced to dynamic and still meditation. In addition to this, you will learn a variety of tools to help unlock your inner wisdom and access your true potential.
3. Mantra
The science of sound vibrations will be explored during the teacher training. Chanting Mantras generates vibrations which are fundamental tools for altering the psyche and producing a tranquil and balanced mind.
In yogic practices, the growth of awareness progresses with the help of these vibrations. By cleansing the mind with mantras, decision-making becomes clearer and observation power is awakened.
Purification leads to improved concentration and a calm focused mind. Mantras will be translated and clearly explained.
4. Asana
Asana training and practice is your opportunity to examine the asanas in depth and learn the science behind physical practice. The proposed asanas are suitable for everyone from beginners to advanced and offer a holistic approach to health while focusing on chakra activation and energy circulation in the bodies.
Two asana classes are suggested daily, as a body meditation for your personal purification and development which are indispensable to induce the true state of meditation. You also have the opportunity to get supervised teaching practice.
Additionally to the meditation knowledge, you will come away with a thorough understanding of the asana sequences and the physical and spiritual aspects of yoga.
5. Pranayama
Discover the healing potential of your breath. Breathing techniques are an essential component of Hatha yoga and its benefits include improved concentration, more energy, deeper sleep, and reduced stress levels.
Not only does it feed the brain, but it also revitalizes the body since breath is the bridge between the body and the mind, and establishing this bridge is one of the keys to successful meditation.

Camille Gicquel is chairperson of Yoga Alliance International, France. Camille was born in the west of France and got introduced to yoga thanks to her mom, an experienced practitioner, who convinced her to attend a class of Hatha yoga thinking that it may help channel her energy and anxious nature, and it was a revelation! However, after studying a diversity of fields and working in a lot of others, something was still missing in her life for her to be truly happy. She has a love for travelling and thirst for discoveries, encounters, and new experiences.
