Join Rod Galbraith and Nicole Walsh for this in depth training for teachers and curious students where we'll journey into the subtle arts of yoga meditation.
Explore meditation and the art of mudra, pranayama and mantra, as you cultivate a quality of attention, curiosity and wonder that can transform your yoga practice, your teaching and your life.
Meditation is a natural, instinctive process that all human beings can access with skillful guidance. Our bodies are designed to enter deeply restful states so that healing and rejuvenation can happen in the most natural way possible. However, because meditation is a very internal practice (not something that can be seen like a yoga pose), and because there are lot of myths around what actually happens in meditation, many people are quick to believe they are failing when they practice meditation.
Traditional yogic meditation practices were often designed for 'renounciates' (think monks in monasteries and yogis in Himalayan caves!). Such people have have renounced their everyday worldly lives of work, play and family, and have devoted their lives to perfecting specific meditation techniques. These techniques often don't translate easily to our modern interactive lives, and as such meditation can sometimes feel unattainable.
Some of the myths of how to meditate that students often state are: "I find it hard to sit still", or "I can't stop my thoughts", or " I want to calm my busy mind". We are here to help you bust those myths so that your students are able to discover a rich and rewarding meditation practice, with a technique that is perfect for them.

Testimonials
"The Meditation Teacher Training with Rod opened my mind to different ways that meditation can be taught and practiced. Rod made it so engaging and informative but at the same time super practical and relatable. I'm really enjoying sharing some of this knowledge with my students! Thank you!"
~ Cara, Yoga Teacher
"I really enjoyed the Meditation Teacher Training. Rod made us feel comfortable in our space, and because he taught from his heart the course was so heart warming. I loved how the meditation course had freedom within the structure and how we all got to inspire each other and be ourselves. Rod shared his wisdom and knowledge to us and taught us to trust our intuition too. That made us all have that freedom within the meditation structure and be ourselves which gave us a chance to accept who we are and explore our unique self."
~ Jenni, Yoga Teacher
"I attended the 50 Hour Meditation Teacher Training and was truly transformed by the experience. With a sudden lockdown imposed on NSW, Rod and Nicole remained organized, very communicative and were warm and welcoming even before beginning the training. They worked so hard to make sure the experience was profound and were incredibly generous with what they had to offer.I feel truly blessed to have experienced this and forever grateful to both of them. I look forward to attending the studio for more classes and future trainings."
- Nilusha, Yoga Teacher
"The 50 hour Meditation course at InYoga was gentle, welcoming and inspiring. Rod is a passionate and enthusiastic teacher and has so much knowledge about meditation practise and teaching. His real world experience of his pre and post meditation practise life and how this impacted him, where shared through his many anecdotes which were invaluable in a teaching environment - it helped to demystify and explain the tools that can be used for developing our own practise which can in turn be used in our teaching . I mostly loved that Rod’s teaching felt like it was about finding the inner poetry of life. This really inspired me and resonated with me. It is a gift that should be shared. Nicole's input and support throughout the training was also invaluable. Thank you."
- Anna, Designer & Art Director
