Become an amazing meditation teacher!
Our children and teens face constant pressure and anxiety due to a fast-paced, technology filled lifestyle. Providing professional meditation for kids sessions can give them essential, mindful skills to improve self-care.
Increasing demand from parents and organisations in search of mindful solutions is supported by the awareness and research into ACES (Adverse Childhood Experiences).
This evidence makes a clear case about the need for positive mental and emotional support for young people – including meditation for kids.
If you are interested in becoming a professional meditation teacher for young people, we offer an accredited, certified programme.
