MASTER & TEACH MINDFULNESS

Workshop includes 2.5 day intensive training and deep dive into Ovio Mindfulness, Ovio journal and workbook, Ovio Mindfulness Teaching kit, and full catering.

The Ovio Master & Teach Mindfulness course is designed for you to further develop and enhance your own personal mindfulness practice, broaden your professional skill base, and gain the skills needed to share and teach mindfulness to others in a personal or professional setting. It’s a hugely rewarding experience.

Over 2.5 days you’ll take a deep dive into mindfulness at a personal and experiential level, and then learn to guide and teach others using Ovio Mindfulness – simple, yet powerful tools to improve mental and physical wellness, stress and anxiety management, enhance relationships, and improve performance. We guarantee you’ll grow both personally and professionally through this course.

By becoming an Ovio Accredited Mindfulness facilitator, you’ll be able to use your deeper knowledge of mindfulness, together with the teaching resources and skills you’ve learnt, to support the emotional and physical wellness of those you guide or teach, to develop more self-aware, connected, compassionate individuals, teams and communities.

WHAT YOU WILL GAIN

• A deeper knowledge and practice of mindfulness
• Simple, yet powerful mindfulness techniques for home, work or business
• Mindful listening and speaking techniques
• The skills and resources to teach mindfulness and share it with others
• Ovio Mindfulness Accreditation
• A community of connected and link-minded professionals

IS THIS COURSE RIGHT FOR YOU?

This course is ideal for anyone wanting to deepen their own mindfulness practice, and inspire or teach others to use mindfulness in their daily life. You’ll gain the skills and materials to guide others in mindfulness techniques or run your own mindfulness courses.

On the course we have had life coaches, yoga teachers, wellness consultants, natural health practitioners, mums, nurses, health professionals, an integrative health specialist, HR Managers, a corporate professional development consultant, scientist, rugby coach, university student and dietician. These people have all added mindfulness to their skill base and way of living, and gained the confidence, resources and training to share and teach mindfulness to others in a personal or professional setting.

Whether you want to teach mindfulness, be more present as a partner or parent, build a high-performance team or culture, or perhaps you’re just someone who wants to enjoy more happiness and less stress and anxiety in your day to day work or family life, this course will help you get there.

Ovio’s Mindfulness courses are secular and neuroscience-based. Prior knowledge of mindfulness is useful but not a prerequisite. Our goal is to see you integrate your own personal life experience, skills and wisdom to deliver our step-by-step Ovio Mindfulness program in your own unique way.

HOW IT WORKS

PRE-TRAINING STUDY

Once you’ve enrolled you will be sent the pre-work for the course. This will help you get into mindfulness mode and takes around 2 hours.

DAY ONE: INTRODUCTION TO MINDFULNESS (1pm -4pm)

This session is designed to introduce you to Ovio’s simple, yet powerful techniques to help you develop a mindfulness practice in your daily life. With this solid foundation in mindfulness, you’re ready to start your journey towards deeper mindfulness practice and Ovio Accreditation.

DAY TWO & THREE: INTENSIVE TRAINING COURSE (9am -5pm)

During this 2-day interactive workshop you will learn and hone your mindfulness facilitation skills. Each of the three sessions from the Ovio Mindfulness course will be covered in more depth to enable you to build on the foundation skills you’ve learnt, deepen your own mindfulness practice, and ensure you’re able to confidently deliver and embody the teachings.

Working in groups we’ll utilise a powerful coaching model to tap into the creative energy of the group, and maximise your learning and insights. You’ll learn mindful listening and speaking techniques, which will help in all areas of your life. Be prepared to share from the heart – we believe that vulnerability helps open a safe space from which others will see the new potential within themselves.

FEEDBACK

“As a yoga teacher, mindfulness has played a big role in helping my students to practice with presence, and since completing Ovio’s facilitator training my teaching has been transformed! The best part about the training is that you can mould it to fit in with your area of interest, or just present the course as is. Cheryl has a beautiful way of talking and teaching, with so much wisdom to share, I really can’t recommend the training enough!”
Tash, Owner Beginner Yogi.

“Cheryl is a great teacher and adds so much beautiful wisdom and ongoing support. I found the two days at the facilitator training empowering and inspiring. I can’t wait to take what I have learnt and educate others.”
Stacey Robinson BHSc. Wellness Expert.

“I attended the Ovio Mindfulness accreditation course recently and it was really terrific. Not only has it enabled me to provide a more holistic service to my clients but it has also deepened my own daily mindfulness practice. I have done a few mindfulness courses in the past but this is the most comprehensive and practical one by far. The course was casual and friendly and Cheryl made us feel very welcome and relaxed. The support and fellowship following the course has also been fantastic and much appreciated. I would highly recommend anyone doing the Ovio Mindfulness accreditation course for personal or professional reasons.”
Joanne Millar, Nutritionist.
