Some voices from previous teacher training participants

Isabell and Graham are extremely knowledgeable and experienced teachers in their fields. I found them to be very patient, kind, caring, knowledgeable and very professional. They had sound understanding of working remotely and the complexities of zoom. I couldn't fault them or the course. It was a real pleasure to be taught by them. The best teachers ever with such knowledge and understanding of their subject yet could teach so that it was accessible to all.

I did not know what to expect when I signed up for the meditation teacher training but I am so glad I joined it. From the very beginning Graham and Isabell created a really safe space and clear framework for us to grow and learn. I loved the training weekends and thought that there was a great balance of practice, teaching and lectures/discussions on the cultural and historical background of meditation. I really liked the fact that the group was small and I loved the fact that we all taught each other - and learnt from each other. I could not recommend this course enough for anyone looking to deepen their practice, learn more about meditation and teach meditation one day.

This is a great course if you are new to meditation and you would like to begin or deepen your knowledge and practice, both for yoga students, new teachers and non yogis alike. The course is non dogmatic, so taking in consideration all different approaches and techniques. Graham and Isabell are very prepared, knowledgeable and nurturing teachers. I liked the balance between practice and lectures. I would highly recommend this course as a good foundation.

I loved how Isabell and Graham shared the teaching! It felt very smooth and not 'too much'. Perfect amount of theory and practical sections. They are super knowledgeable and I learnt a lot with them. They both teach in a very comprehensive way, so everyone can understand. I never felt uncomfortable in asking questions or share my thoughts, it was always a safe and non judgmental place.

I had an amazing experience with Yogacampus and Isabell and Graham! I am so grateful for the scholarship too, it wouldn't be possible for me to attend this course without that extra help. Thank you for the opportunity! I am leaving this course with so much positivity and awareness and I can't wait to share with others my knowledge and passion towards meditation.

I wish I could show you
When you are lonely or in darkness
The astonishing light
Of your own being
