Meditation Revealed Online Meditation Course
A 40-hour self-paced training with Bernie Clark & Nathalie Keiller to deepen your understanding of meditation.
Online Meditation Course Overview
Meditation Revealed is a YACEP 40-hour online meditation course for yoga teachers and committed practitioners who want to understand how and why meditation works — not just how to do it.
Through a balance of lecture, story, science, and daily Deep Meditation practice, Bernie Clark and Nathalie Keiller explore meditation from multiple angles: yoga philosophy, Buddhist and Tantric perspectives, myth and symbolism, modern psychology, and neuroscience.
You’ll establish a daily Deep Meditation practice, study how different traditions approach meditation, learn what’s happening in the brain and mind, and see how this knowledge can help you navigate obstacles with more skill and compassion — in your own practice and when supporting others.
This online course does not train you to certify others in Deep Meditation. Instead, it strengthens your own understanding and experience so that your teaching — of yoga, mindfulness, or related practices — is grounded in clarity, nuance, and context.
What You’ll Learn
By the end of Meditation Revealed Online Course, you will:
- Clarify what “meditation” and “yoga” actually mean in different traditions — and why that matters for practice and teaching.
- Understand three major styles of meditation (focused attention, open monitoring, and automatic self-transcending / Deep Meditation) and how they differ in method and intention.
- Trace the evolution of meditation from early shamanic practices through Samkhya, Classical Yoga, the Buddha, Tantra, Hatha Yoga, and modern approaches.
- Explore Eastern and Western models of the mind and soul, and how they shape our experience of self, suffering, and liberation.
- Learn key findings from neuroscience and psychology about how meditation affects the brain, nervous system, and behavior.
- Establish a consistent personal Deep Meditation practice, including how to set up your space, timing, and attitude.
- Recognize common obstacles in meditation — restlessness, sleepiness, doubt, resistance — and work skillfully with them rather than fighting them.
- Appreciate the role of praxis: how practice and understanding support each other over time, in your life and in your yoga teaching.
Curriculum Overview
Meditation Revealed is structured around seven main themes, plus ongoing practice:
- Defining Our Terms
What do we mean by “yoga,” “meditation,” “mind,” and “soul”? Explore key definitions that underpin the rest of the course, and why clear language matters. - From Shamans to Samkhya
Journey from early shamanic practices through the development of Samkhya philosophy and the roots of yogic thinking about mind, nature, and consciousness. - Classical Yoga & The Buddha
Examine Patanjali’s Classical Yoga and the Buddha’s middle way, including different approaches to concentration, insight, and the causes of suffering. - Tantra & Hatha Yoga
Discover how Tantra and Hatha Yoga reframed the body, energy, and practice, and how these developments influence modern yoga and meditation. - The Mythology of the Soul
Explore myth, symbol, and story as ways of talking about the soul, transformation, and the journey of practice — drawing on sources like Shiva Dancing at King Arthur’s Court. - Meditation & Psychotherapy
Look at meditation through the lens of modern psychology and psychotherapy: how it relates to mental health, identity, trauma, and integration. - Praxis: Deep Meditation in Daily Life
Bring it all together through daily Deep Meditation practice, reflection, and assignments. Learn how to sustain practice beyond the course and let understanding show up in daily life.
Throughout the course, you’ll be invited into daily 20-minute meditation sessions, reading assignments, and simple “morning” and “evening” experiments that bring the teachings into lived experience.

Meet Your Instructors
About Meditation Teacher Bernie Clark
Bernie Clark has been studying and teaching yoga and meditation for decades. He is best known for his work in Yin Yoga, philosophy, and the meeting point of science and contemplative practice.
I’m fascinated by the stories, models, and maps humans create to understand reality — and how those stories show up in our bodies and minds. In Meditation Revealed, I bring together history, myth, philosophy, and neuroscience to help you see meditation in a bigger context, so your practice (and your teaching) is grounded in understanding, not dogma.
I’m the author of several books, including The Complete Guide to Yin Yoga and From the Gita to the Grail, and I’ve spent many years exploring both traditional teachings and modern science. I’m happy to share this journey with you.
