Meditation teacher training: your questions answered

How do I become a meditation teacher?

The most reliable route is to build a steady personal practice and then complete a dedicated meditation teacher training that covers both the theory and the practical skills of teaching. Our weekend course in Glasgow gives you the science, techniques, teaching methods and supervised practice you need to lead a session with confidence, along with a certificate and ongoing support once you finish.

Do I need previous experience to join?

No teaching experience is required. The training welcomes those who are completely new to teaching, as well as yoga teachers and wellbeing professionals. We do recommend having an established personal meditation practice, as it makes the teaching skills much easier to absorb.

Do I receive a certificate?

Yes. Everyone who completes the 2.5-day training receives a certificate of completion, along with a course manual, take-home resources and ongoing mentorship to support you as you begin teaching.

Where and when is the meditation teacher training held?

The training runs over the weekend of 13–15 November 2026 at The Wee Retreat CIC, 2 Myrtle Park, Glasgow G42 8UQ. Sessions are Friday evening (6:00–9:00pm), Saturday (9:30am–5:30pm) and Sunday (9:30am–4:30pm).
