Q: After the TTR1 course will I be able to teach the 8 week MBSR Stress Reduction course or do we need to take TTR2 as well?

On successful completion of TT1 you would have the skills and confidence to teach Meditation classes and in some cases depending on both your personal and professional skills, the 8-week MBSR Stress Reduction Course. However, we normally advise students to take TT2 before teaching the MBSR 8 week course due to its complexity.   

During TT1 and also during a review at the end of the course, we give you feedback and advise where we feel you are as a Teacher and your areas of development going forward. We also offer mentoring and supervision to support your development.

Q. Hi I am very interested in attending this course . Is it a recognised in line with other courses TTR1?

The Mindful Academy Solterreno Teacher Training Retreat TT1 is similar to the TT1 offered by many of the UK universities.

Our course is accredited and registered with the Yoga Alliance Professionals in the UK, so on graduation from both TT1 and TT2 you will have a recognized qualification as an MBSR Meditation Teacher whereas some other courses are Continued Professional Development (CPD) courses.

Q. If I were to practice in Europe and the UK is insurance required and is your certificate recognised by insurers?

Our courses and qualifications are accredited with the Yoga Alliance Professionals in the UK and on graduation from both TT1 and TT2 you would be able to register with them as an MBSR Meditation Teacher and if you are a resident of the UK or Ireland this registration also includes insurance to teach. We recommend that all graduates take out teaching insurance, if you already have insurance as a Therapist or Yoga Teacher you may just need to send a copy of your certificate to your Insurance Company for them to add MBSR Meditation to your cover.

TT3, June 2022

I loved how the course was structured. I took TT1 in the intense format of 1 week and TT2 was instead spread over 2 months. I really enjoyed both formats and I felt that TT2 was ideal in this format, because I really had the time to absorb what I learnt in each session and had time to prepare.…

Fantastic course. The structure of each day was fantastic. The days were long but every activity or teaching session felt like it was not rushed, there was spaciousness and yet things didn't often overrun or feel crammed in. Perfect balance. The teachers were absolutely wonderful, grounding,…
