50-Hour Meditation & Breath Work Training
Yoga Alliance Continuing Education (YACEP)
With lead trainers Sarah Emilie Boas & Cédric Gorinas
starting February 13th, 2026 and ending on March 14th, 2026
This 50-hour training invites you to slow down, turn inward, and explore the powerful practices of meditation and pranayama. The focus of the program is seated meditation, supported by breathwork and theory from ancient yoga philosophy and modern science, so you can cultivate both a deeper personal practice and the tools to share it with others.
It is open to everyone — yoga teachers and dedicated practitioners alike. While no prior teaching experience is required, we warmly recommend that you already have some experience with meditation, as we will go beyond the very basics.
