​

Context within the 200-Hour Training:

About the program
 

While earlier modules establish a foundation through the body and develop a heart-centered way of living in everyday life, this module introduces a more direct approach to mindfulness. Rather than continuing to build practice through effort, we explore how awareness is already present—open, clear, and naturally available in every moment.

This approach is often referred to as effortless mindfulness, where the emphasis shifts from trying to maintain awareness to recognizing the awareness that is already here. It draws from contemplative traditions such as Dzogchen, Advaita Vedanta, and other non-dual teachings, presented in a grounded and accessible way.
Through guided practices, mindful movement, and inquiry, the training supports a shift from doing mindfulness to recognizing awareness, allowing for a more natural and integrated way of being in daily life.

This training is offered both online and in-studio. Teaching is in English.
