50 Hours Meditation & Pranayama (Conscious Breathing) Master course (YACEP) HYBRID

Inspire, breathe, and transform through a 50-hour journey designed to elevate both your yoga practice and your teaching. This hybrid YACEP master course offers a deeper exploration of meditation and pranayama, supporting a more mindful, enriched, and conscious way of living.

Pranayama invites you to explore the vast dimension of prana, the vital life force, through conscious breath control. When understood and practiced with care, it can support physical, mental, and spiritual well-being while opening the door to greater awareness, balance, and refined inner steadiness.

Rooted in the tradition of the Himalayan masters, the program at Eclipse is guided by the intention to celebrate human potential at its highest level and inspire a deeper appreciation for the journey of life. It brings together authentic yogic heritage and modern scientific knowledge, meeting the needs of the contemporary practitioner while staying true to the teachings of the sages of antiquity.

Meditation is presented as a sustained state of mindfulness and heightened awareness. Combined with pranayama, it becomes a powerful path for conscious living, helping practitioners integrate breath awareness into daily life and unlock the transformative potential of both practices.
