Whether you're looking to teach full-time or deepen your own practice while helping others, this course gives you everything you need to start teaching meditation.

The Meditation Teacher Training Course starts by expanding your understanding of different meditation styles. You’ll briefly cover the familiar, like Zen and Mindfulness, before moving on to lesser-known techniques such as Yoga Nidra, mantra meditation, and body scan practice. You'll apply this deeper knowledge to confidently teach meditation to a range of students, establishing yourself as a well-rounded and knowledgeable teacher.

From Student to Teacher

Teach posture and breathwork clearly and safely
Help students deal with common issues like tiredness or restlessness
Introduce mindfulness in a way that feels manageable for all lifestyles

You’ll also explore how to guide students through challenges such as making meditation part of their daily lives, and adapt your sessions to meet individual needs.

The Practical Side of Teaching

As well as deepening your mindfulness and meditation knowledge, this course will help you think like a teacher. You’ll get to grips with things like:

Structuring sessions and planning your teaching schedule
Communicating patiently and compassionately with students
Handling payments, policies, and ongoing student support

These are the nuts and bolts that help turn your passion for teaching meditation into a solid practice.

Brain-heart coherence
Yoga Nidra and deep relaxation
The 10,000 Agendas and other deeper awareness tools

Meditation for Schools and Young People

The course explains the specific benefits of meditation in educational settings and how to adapt your teaching style for younger learners. You’ll gain practical tips for bringing mindfulness into the classroom in a way that’s age-appropriate and engaging. It’s a meaningful way to apply your skills where they can make a real difference.

Build a Calm, Purposeful Business
