Looking to decide between this and my best-selling Mindfulness Teacher Training course? The mindfulness course goes deeper on that subject and is perfect for students who want an approach that concentrates on evidence-based approaches and mental health. This course is more suited to students who want to explore the historical context of meditation and a wider range of techniques. Both courses complement each other and all of the lessons are recorded separately for each course.
