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 is the Difference between 100 hour and 200 hour meditattion teacher training?
Our 14 Days 100-hour meditation course is a great starting point. We help you go deeper into your own meditation practice, understand the basics of meditattion philosophy, and learn simple methods to begin sharing. It’s ideal if you’re curious but not quite ready to teach yet.
The accredited 200-hour meditation training (26 Ddays) takes things further. You’ll get everything from the 100-hour course, plus advanced practices, deeper study, and full guidance on how to teach. By the end, you’ll become certified meditation teacher and ready to lead meditation classes in any settings.
How many people join the course?
Our courses are designed for small, intimate groups, usually between 5 and 15 participants. This size allows us to give each person the attention they deserve, ensuring you learn the meditation in depth with clarity.
In case you prefer a more personal experience, we also offer private sessions. If that sounds like you, just reach out, we’ll be happy to share the details.
What kind of meditation do you teach?
We practice and teach meditation in its ancient form. Our methods are based on the Vedantic approach, including self-inquiry.
I don't have regular meditation practice. Can I still join?
Absolutely! This course is designed for complete beginners as well as those with some meditation experience. In just 4 weeks, you’ll learn everything you need to practice Meditation confidently on your own.
The technique is natural, effortless, and simple, you’ll feel the benefits from your very first session. Anyone can learn, from children to adults, and you’ll have ongoing support after the course to help you make meditation a part of your daily life.
What ongoing support do I get after the course?
Your course fee isn’t just for a few sessions, it’s an investment in a lifetime of support. Once you complete the program, you become part of our global online meditation community. From that point on, you’ll have free access to weekly group meditations with us, along with a worldwide network of teachers and meditators. This means that no matter where you go, you can find a community to practice with and stay connected.

This isn’t just a course, it’s the beginning of a lifelong journey with the support you need every step of the way.
What kind of changes should I start to make in my life to learn properly?
You don’t have to change anything about your lifestyle to learn Meditation. If you like you can experiment and give up coffee, wine, meat or anything which your mind craves for during exhaustion. The only requirement is simple: commit to meditating twice a day.
What’s interesting, though, is what often happens over time. As you build a regular practice, your mind and body naturally move toward balance. The stress you used to mask with stimulants or relaxants starts to dissolve, and those old cravings may quietly lose their grip. It’s not about restriction or willpower. It’s a natural shift that comes from feeling deeply rested and centered from within.
Can I teach online after this course?
Yes, this depends on your personal practice. Becoming a meditation teacher takes a long time of dedication, practice and self study. While the technique feels simple when you learn it, the way it’s taught is the inner flow of wisdom.
Do I need to stop my thoughts or sit perfectly still?
Not at all. Meditation isn’t about forcing the mind to be blank or the body to be rigid. Thoughts are a natural part of the process. They need to be just inwardly directed. During practice, the body settles into deep rest effortlessly, and stillness happens on its own, without any strain or control.
Do I need to sit on the floor in a cross-legged position?
No. Meditation is about comfort, not posture. During the course, you’ll sit in a regular chair or lounge. At home, simply sit upright with your back supported, no special positions or flexibility required. Just keeping the mind awake and inward is enough.
Is this a spiritual or religious program?
No. Meditation is not tied to any religion. It’s an effortless technique that helps the mind settle and the body rest deeply. You don’t need to adopt any beliefs or change your current faith. While we honor its roots in the Indian Vedic tradition, this practice is for everyone, regardless of religious, or non-religious background.
How long does it take to become a meditation teacher?
The time it takes to become a meditation teacher depends on the program you choose. Most foundational courses range from 2 to 4 weeks of intensive training or 2 to 6 months online. Advanced certifications may take longer, allowing you to deepen your practice and master the skills.
