Meditation Teacher Training

During Meditation Teacher Training, you will learn not only how to deepen your own meditation, but also how to guide others in establishing a practice of their own. The curriculum includes studying meditation theory and techniques, learning how to overcome obstacles during meditation practice, integrating meditation into daily life, and discovering the importance of asana and pranayama.

Swami Satchidananda said: “Meditation is the most important practice. Most of our problems in life would be solved if we meditated regularly.” Why? Because our whole experience of life is based on the condition of the mind, and meditation enables us to gain mastery over the mind.

You will develop a personal practice plan and gain the knowledge, skill, and confidence to teach a six-week course, as well as meditation workshops. In a world that is so much in need of peace, meditation is a time-honored practice that will empower you—and your students—to discover the peace within.
