Introduction to Meditation

Meditation: YTT Module TNP Wellness 200-Hour YAECP® Teacher Training

There’s More to Teaching Meditation Than Cueing the Breath

Meditation is one of the most requested offerings in yoga and wellness spaces — and one of the least taught with real depth. To guide it well, especially for students carrying stress, grief, or trauma, you need more than a calm voice and a timer.

Most yoga teachers and wellness professionals find themselves:

• Defaulting to the same one or two techniques they learned in their initial training
• Unsure how to guide students who become activated, anxious, or dissociative during meditation
• Unfamiliar with the range of practices available — and when to use which one
• Missing the trauma-informed framework needed to make meditation truly accessible
• Lacking confidence to hold a meditation-focused class or workshop on their own

Without a solid meditation foundation, teachers avoid it — and students miss one of the most powerful tools in the practice.

What You’ll Learn in This Module

Led by Alan Delery — Certified Dynamic Mindfulness Trainer, Founder of Positive Impact, and Co-Owner of UpLIFT NOLA — this module gives you a practical, trauma-informed framework for teaching and practicing meditation across a wide range of techniques and settings.
