Testimonials

info

I was drawn to Biyome course through a twofold desire to receive a qualification to begin a new phase of my life in teaching Meditation and Mindfulness and to work on my own connection to self, to relieve my own anxiety and to find compassionate connections in my life. I honestly had no preconceived ideas of what a meditation course might look like, and I certainly didn’t foresee the path it would put me on. As a novice meditator the initial sessions were difficult and I need to constantly work hard to bring my mind back to my body, my breath. Practicing daily has now given me a respite from the hustle and bustle of my stressful life, it's something I look forward to and find refreshing. I think of it as exercise for my emotional wellbeing. Biyome’s meditation teacher training course has provided me with a path to emotional regulation, calmness and a sense of spiritual wellbeing that I have been delighted to discover. Professionally I hope it will open up doors to a new meaningful career where I can feel that what I do actually touches people and helps them on their own mental health journey.

I loved the combination of spiritual, traditional learnings with an evidence-based approach. I come from a medical background and this feature appealed to me as it fits in with the way I currently practice, though allowing me to expand my skills in a more holistic way. I had a very clear path in term of how I wanted to use this course. Additionally, I wanted to improve my skills for myself. It has surprised me how difficult I have found my own practice, however I feel this will enable me to be more understanding and realistic with clients. The course has helped me to understand the process of meditation and to motivate me for my own practice. It has been great to learn about different types of meditation. I have put more emphasis on my own practice and the importance of accountability.

Emma Jackson (OL110MTT), Australia

Since I have been practicing meditation for many years, there are significant changes within myself physically, psychologically, and spiritually. I am willing to help others to fulfil their life with an abundance of love, happiness, and compassion. So I searched online and found the BIYOME institute. They offer 330MTT Meditation as a Lifestyle Medicine which is exactly what I am looking for. My goal for this journey was to learn and understand the different approaches between east and west towards the practice of meditations and the science behind the theology of mind-body connection and compassion. In this twelve-month journey with BIYOME, I learned much more than I expected. A great deal of information, scientific articles, and texts have been offered in this course. The knowledge I learned through this course is substantial. BIYOME is a high-standard, well-established, very professional institute. The teachers are highly qualified, they give their students professional training and I am extremely satisfied with my studies. BIYOME Yoga/ Meditation teacher training has given me sufficient knowledge, confidence, and teaching techniques to help people with my knowledge and skills.
