What is the L2B teacher training sequence?

advanced training is required for certification. Those who teach mindfulness should also
have completed a mindfulness course, like MBSR, to establish and support their own
mindfulness practice.

It offers a broad overview of the theory and research behind L2B. This Foundation
Course may also be accessible as an in-person workshop in certain locations. Once you
have completed this course, you will receive a Verification of Completion which
allows you to progress to STEP 2. You must complete the Foundation workshop and
receive the verification before registering for further training.

background information. Intensive workshops are available in-person in certain
locations and live online.
