The Meditation and Mindfulness Teacher Training Certificate enables individuals to become qualified meditation teachers. It is a highly practical course that has been designed to offer you the knowledge and experience you need to be a competent teacher of meditation. The course is ideal for individuals already practicing meditation or another yogic discipline, qualified yoga and pilates teachers, alternative therapists, life coaches, health professionals, counselors, and others who want to expand their practice or career to include meditation teaching, theory, and methods. Many people join the training course, even though they do not intend to teach, but simply to deepen their practice and knowledge of meditation. This course would enable you to obtain a solid foundation of daily practice so that you could enjoy the many benefits of meditation.
The Meditation and Mindfulness Teacher Training has been internationally accredited and validated by two accrediting bodies:
1. IMMA (International Mindfulness and Meditation Alliance). IMMA is an International association that certifies and supports meditation and mindfulness teachers and trainings.
2. CPD (Continuing Professional Development). The CPD Certification Service was established in 1996 as the leading independent CPD accreditation institution operating across the industry to review and accredit professional institutes and academic bodies. For example, the CPD is the accrediting body for Regents University, the Open University, and the NHS (National Health Services).
The Meditation and Mindfulness Teacher Training is an accredited IMMA and CPD course. It means that our training certificate has reached the required IMMA and CPD highest standards and benchmarks.
The IMMA and CPD Certification provides your Meditation and Mindfulness teacher certificate with a recognized accreditation that is respected all over the world.
Your certificate shows both of those accrediting bodies, clearly indicating the high quality of our training. Such visibility of the accrediting bodies would strengthen your certificate, making it internationally respected.
As the course is recognized by IMMA and the CPD, you can get insured for the meditation sessions with your clients, students, and groups. Once you have completed the training, you will receive a formal certificate indicating you are a certified meditation and mindfulness teacher.
Scientific-based, filled with practice and activities
The training course includes 40+ videos, 30+ evidence-based guided meditation scripts, 30+ exercises and activities, extensive readings materials, downloadable audio meditations, handouts, and worksheets. We also offer 250+ Meditation Scripts as part of the training. These materials are divided into 30 teaching sessions, each session incorporates videos, exercises, readings, and meditation practice. The sessions make a comprehensive course (see full curriculum below) and would offer you all that you need to deliver inspiring and responsible meditation sessions. All this content will be available to you for as long as you need to graduate; there is no time limit on this training.
In addition to the comprehensive materials, the course also has its own Facebook group, only for students and graduates of the training. As part of this group, you will be able to ask questions, share meditation techniques, and discuss challenges or insights you had as part of your meditation practice and teaching. A mindfulness teacher monitors this group to offer full support. Finally, you can email us for any technical support. In other words, we are here for you.

Wrap-up (Video 36)
Transcript – Wrap-Up
Meditation can have a far-reaching impact on your life. It facilitates a deeper feeling of peace and calm, while at the same time allowing you to engage with yourself at deeper levels. Additionally, meditation has been scientifically researched, and the results have clearly shown that the practice has important benefits. According to research, meditation increases psychological well-being factors such as acceptance, meaning, happiness and compassion on the one hand, and reduces levels of stress, anxiety, and depression on the other hand. This module will provide you with the knowledge and understanding surrounding meditation, including concepts such as “Presence”, “Authentic Self”, “Enlightenment” and “Awareness”.
As teaching meditation begins with a personal experience of it, this teacher training course emphasizes personal practice, alongside the teaching of theory and exercises. You will be trained in a variety of meditation techniques in order to have an intimate and subjective experience of different meditation-based exercises. The list of meditation techniques you will learn as part of this module includes Intention Meditation, Breathing Meditation, Walking Meditation, Smiling Meditation, Body-Scan Meditation, Loving-Kindness Meditation, 1-Minute Meditation, and many more. This course would enable you to psychologically and spiritually grow while engaging with these meditation techniques.
The more formal assignments of the course are as follows:
As you gain knowledge about meditation and learn the experience of meditation, you will realize how you could offer others a similar experience of expansion. By engaging with the materials on a theoretical level (module 1) and practical level (module 2), you will realize how to apply the techniques you have learned so that you could teach others. This module will provide you with practical tools that would assist you in teaching others.
The three modules are not being taught separately; instead, the training continuously moves from one module to another, offering some theory, followed by practice and a teaching session, seamlessly integrating the three modules into a coherent experience. These three learning outcomes (and corresponding modules) offer a process of transformation. As part of this transformation, you will be able to gradually build higher levels of presence – being able to bring your awareness to the “Here and Now”. Meditation invites us to become more present in our everyday life. This course will offer you an opportunity to engage with meditation in a way that will allow that presence to penetrate whatever you are doing during the day. It will shift your mind from one that is constantly busy and scattered to a mind that is focused and connected to the moment. Finally, the course would enable you to share and teach this knowledge; there is great joy in inviting others to grow and transform.
The Meditation and Mindfulness teacher training includes a number of special sections where you will learn unique approaches to mindfulness teaching. For example, the special section of “Mindfulness-Based Flourishing” will teach you how to apply mindfulness not only for stress and anxiety but also to increase happiness, meaning in life, hope, and resilience. Another special section, “Organizational Mindfulness”, will teach you how to apply mindfulness teaching in organizations. The special section of “Mindfulness Games” will teach you how to offer mindfulness through games, a highly-effective teaching technique which appeals to most students and clients. Those are unique teaching sessions and they reflect the innovative teaching we offer as part of this training.
Our students find our courses inspiring and effective; read their testimonials, they love it. And yet, we want you to feel safe as you enroll in a course. For that purpose, we offer a 30-day 100% money back guarantee. You can cancel your enrollment at any time within the first 30 days of the course, and receive a full refund.
Any question for which you cannot find an answer on this webpage? We would love to answer your question via one of those options:
During the training course, you will complete different exercises to deepen your knowledge and understanding of meditation. You will also teach meditation sessions to someone you choose to work with (friend/family/client) and then write a summary of your experiences and insights following the teaching. These are the informal assessments within the course, which will not be marked; they are simply an opportunity for you to deepen the impact of the training.
The more formal assignments of the course are as follows:
We set no time limit on the training’s completion. You could complete the training in one month, 12 months, or even longer if needed – the training’s content would be available for you until you graduate, no matter how long that takes.
We do require a minimum amount of time for completion: 31 days. There are 30 teaching sessions as part of this training plus 3 additional special sections; each session includes a variety of videos, exercises, audio files, and handouts.
When you join the training, the first two sessions will be open for you to study and practice. Every day one more teaching session will open (session 3 in day 2, session 4 in day 3, session 5 in day 4, etc.) until day 31 when the final session is released. From day 31, all sessions would be fully open until you graduate, for as long as that takes. We do that to ensure that students would not rush through all sessions; the content of the sessions requires time to be digested and experienced. For that reason, we set the minimum time for the training’s completion as 31 days.
For those who would like a more in-depth experience, we offer additional reading options, research papers, and books related to many of the sessions.
Each session would require between 2 and 5 hours. This is a total of 100 hours for the training. These hours are broken into the following elements: Videos; Personal Practice; Preparation for Teaching + Teaching; Completing Exercises and Worksheets.
This Meditation and Mindfulness Teacher Training is unique as it is based on scientific research. Dr. Itai Ivtzan is using theories and practices that have been tested and found to be effective.
Once you enroll and pay, you can start the training immediately.
Yes, absolutely. Many of the lessons include sample meditation scripts to bring to life the particular style and topic of the lesson. In addition, we release to you during the course a Script Library of 250 different meditation scripts split into a variety of headline groups such as Mental Wellbeing, Physical Wellbeing, Spiritual, etc. You are free to use this in your own practice during and after the training, but note that these have a copyright and must not be passed off as your own or shared online.
The training fees are 490 US Dollars. If you pay with a different currency, the fees would be converted automatically to your local currency.
You can also choose a payment plan (2 payments of $250). The second payment is charged one month following the first payment.
You can pay with any credit/debit card or through PayPal.
Yes! All of the training’s videos include the option to turn on English Subtitles and download the transcript (written text) of the video.
Based on our graduates’ feedback, we are confident that you would enjoy this training and find it right for you. In fact, we are so confident that we offer a 30-day 100% money-back guarantee. If for any reason you are not satisfied with the training, contact us within the first 30 days and receive a full refund.
We have thousands of graduates from all over the world.
See what they say about the training:
I'm in the middle of this course and have to say, I've taken many online courses and some in mindfulness and this one is not only incredible in the way it is taught, it is worth a lot more than they charge.
I started practicing meditation just about a year ago and this course is giving me solid practices along with information that is backed by science. Yes, you have to do the work to get the most out of it. A few of us that started around the same time now Zoom almost every Saturday to discuss what we're doing, what we have learned and there's also the benefit of forming new friendships from around the world.
If you just want to learn more for yourself or want to teach meditation, this is the place to do it. I am not affiliated with this organization, just my honest opinion.
I thoroughly enjoyed this course. Specifically liked how there was such a broad teaching of different techniques. I would highly recommend this teacher training course. Such an open minded, grounded guidance to becoming a teacher.
Thank you!
My experience of becoming a meditation and mindfulness teacher was an interesting and deep experience which will complement beautifully my experience as a yoga teacher. I will be able to weave into my asana teaching mindfulness techniques which will greatly enhance my classes. I found the training to be easy to grasp yet profound and inspiring. I also like the fact that I will be able to have access to your research papers when I have the time to further my studies and understanding of the subject of meditation.
Thank you for creating this program!
My experience was incredible. I have experienced the positive impact of meditation and mindfulness into my daily life! I have found a newfound passion and skillset to share with my community. This is one of my most enjoyable accomplishments.
Dr. Itai Ivtzan has given his students a true gift.

Any question for which you cannot find an answer on this webpage? We would love to answer your question via one of those options:
During the training course, you will complete different exercises to deepen your knowledge and understanding of meditation. You will also teach meditation sessions to someone you choose to work with (friend/family/client) and then write a summary of your experiences and insights following the teaching. These are the informal assessments within the course, which will not be marked; they are simply an opportunity for you to deepen the impact of the training.
The more formal assignments of the course are as follows:
We set no time limit on the training’s completion. You could complete the training in one month, 12 months, or even longer if needed – the training’s content would be available for you until you graduate, no matter how long that takes.
We do require a minimum amount of time for completion: 31 days. There are 30 teaching sessions as part of this training plus 3 additional special sections; each session includes a variety of videos, exercises, audio files, and handouts.
When you join the training, the first two sessions will be open for you to study and practice. Every day one more teaching session will open (session 3 in day 2, session 4 in day 3, session 5 in day 4, etc.) until day 31 when the final session is released. From day 31, all sessions would be fully open until you graduate, for as long as that takes. We do that to ensure that students would not rush through all sessions; the content of the sessions requires time to be digested and experienced. For that reason, we set the minimum time for the training’s completion as 31 days.
For those who would like a more in-depth experience, we offer additional reading options, research papers, and books related to many of the sessions.
Each session would require between 2 and 5 hours. This is a total of 100 hours for the training. These hours are broken into the following elements: Videos; Personal Practice; Preparation for Teaching + Teaching; Completing Exercises and Worksheets.
