50-Hour Meditation & Yoga Nidra Teacher Training in Gozo

This 50-hour course is a Yoga Alliance Continuing Education program, accredited for 50 CEUs for certified teachers. It's also open to advanced practitioners who want to deepen their meditation practice and learn to teach. Over the eight days, you'll explore the history and theory of meditation and Yoga Nidra, covering styles from the Buddhist and Vedanta traditions. Practical techniques include breath awareness, Metta (loving-kindness), detached awareness, non-attachment, chakra meditation, guided meditation, Japa and mala practice, mindfulness, Tratak (candle gazing), mantra, Yantra, and Pratipaksha Bhavana. You will also learn three distinct styles of Yoga Nidra.

What sets this training apart is the location and approach. Gozo is a small, laid-back island rich in history and natural beauty, from ancient temples to dramatic cliffs. Most meditation and Yoga Nidra sessions take place outdoors, weather permitting, which adds a unique dimension to the practice. The small group size means that you'll be teaching daily, which is the best way to build confidence and skill. The trainers, Monique and Nop, provide detailed, personalized feedback to help you develop your own teaching style.

Monique is an E-RYT 500 who has been teaching for years and specializes in outdoor yoga and energy balancing. She brings a deep knowledge of Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin, and meditation to the course. Nop is also an experienced teacher trainer who enjoys taking people out for hikes. Together, they are known for being kind, caring, and highly skilled. The course is practical, and by the end, you'll not only have your certification but also the hands-on experience of guiding others in a beautiful, supportive environment.

You'll stay in a comfortable boutique hotel in either Sannat or Xewkija, authentic villages on the island. Theory sessions are held in an indoor space by the sea when needed. A free daily yoga class by the sea is included as a bonus, and the training feels part holiday, part intensive study. This is a chance to learn a valuable skill while enjoying the relaxed pace and stunning surroundings of Gozo.
