Become an Accredited Meditation Teacher

If you are looking to train as a professional meditation teacher for young people we can help you realise that dream.

For the past 20 years, Connected Kids has successfully trained people to teach meditation professionally, to children and teens.

Our training has grown internationally helping thousands of young people learn mindful skills, through our professional teachers.

We’ve helped young people reduce stress and anxiety and feel calmer, more confident and happier.  We’ve supported and championed our members to take their passion and develop a career teaching meditation.

Our programe is unique through the inclusion of mindful teaching methods that work for young people with SEN, autism, ADHD, anxiety and trauma – and our work accredited by 3 international organisations – IMMA, IICT and BCMA.

I have learned so much along the way. It has really enhanced my play therapy tool kit and totally opened up my own journey.

The kids embrace the guided meditations and visualisations. They can sit for a longer, and let go.” 

Our approach is mindfully child-centered

Our specialty is training you to work from an intuitive, child-centered connection.   This combines practical skills with the ability to tailor a meditation session to meet the needs of all young people – including those with or without trauma, care-experienced, SEN, Autism and ADHD.

Connected Kids is a special program for special people.  It’s more than a certificated course.  The Connected Kids team is dedicated to helping you with your future success as a meditation teacher so you can connect to children and teens to help them feel happy, safe and calm.

That’s why we continually create additional resources that help you develop as a meditation teacher and promote your work to those that need it.

It’s a highly skilled course that takes you on a personal development journey.

“The program is not only for you to learn to teach meditation, but it is also a personal growth opportunity”

Ana, Belgium

“Being more aware of my energy and my intentions, I work intuitively, guided by my heart, to create a space for kids to find solutions for themselves. This has been so transformative to me and the kids I have worked with.

Turn your passion into a rewarding career

On the Connected Kids program, you’ll be joining educators, psychologists, mental-health experts, yoga teachers, therapists, counselors, and social workers from around the globe who have transformed their passion into a successful career teaching meditation.

If you are new to working professionally with children, you’ll join hundreds of others who felt the call to create a successful teaching practice as a Professional Meditation Teacher to share with young people worldwide.

Working with the tools has brought about a beautiful shift in how I work with children. Previously, I worked as a psychologist, working on an intellectual level with evidence-based strategies, attempting to ‘fix’ problems. 

My approach to working with children is completely different and much more effective. The course has equipped me with the skills to work on a deeper level with kids, tuning into their energy and underlying issues using simple and effective techniques.
