When Looking For Certified Meditation Teacher Training, Consider the following:

Not sure which training is right for you, online or in-person?

We highly encourage you to go for an in-person training retreat. To bring real spiritual empowerment, one should learn meditation in the presence of a teacher. Taking meditation training at school is a completely different experience. There are many online meditation trainings these days but the quality of experience is very difficult to find. A retreat away from home and work stress helps to bring balance into everyday life.

However, if your current lifestyle doesn’t allow for much time away from work, we also have online courses to enrich your practice.

 

What Are Your Intentions and Expectations?

Before joining a meditation training, take a moment to reflect on what you’re truly seeking. Are you looking to deepen your personal practice or learn the skills to guide others as a teacher? The 200-hour Meditation teacher certification program is a path to becoming a teacher. 

Having clear intentions will help you choose the right program. Some trainings are focused on personal growth and self-discovery, while others emphasize teaching skills and holding space for others.

 

Do I Need a Certification to Teach Meditation Anyway?

A straight answer is, no. There’s no legal requirement to be certified to teach meditation. However, getting a meditation teacher certification can be a valuable step in your journey. 

The true heart of meditation teaching lies in your own experience and presence. More than a certificate, what truly matters is learning from teachers who inspire you and practicing with depth and integrity. A strong foundation and authentic guidance are what make a great meditation teacher, not just a title on paper.

 

Choose a Meditation Style that Resonates With Your Nature

When choosing a training, it’s essential to explore the type of meditation being taught. Every teacher brings their own background, lineage, and experience and not every tradition will align with your personal journey.

Take a moment to reflect on your own meditation practice. What method has helped you the most so far? What approach feels natural and inspiring to you?

 

Do the Teachers Practice What They Teach?

The key point is to consider when choosing a meditation training is the teacher’s personal commitment to the practice. A good teacher doesn’t just teach, they embody the wisdom they share. You should ask the question, when was the last time they sat down for meditation? Or why meditation is so important to them?

Look for someone whose presence, values, and approach feel aligned with your personal journey..
