Meditation Teacher Training Is More Than a Certificate

For millennia, meditation teacher training was mostly provided in monasteries and ashrams. But in our internet age, online meditation teacher training has become the new normal.

Some online MTTs provide only one or two hours of instruction, and viola – you’re a certified meditation teacher!

While this can sound nice if all you want is a piece of paper that says you’re “certified,” it does not do much to build your knowledge, wisdom, practice, presence, confidence, impact, professional network or career.
 

Not all meditation teacher trainings are created equally.

 
The good news is that there are really powerful and transformative online meditation teacher training programs that can truly help you become a powerful, successful and impactful meditation teacher.

Below are the top five best online meditation teacher training programs in 2022.
