“I can honestly say that this course was the most enlightening course I think I have ever done. I have learned simple ways of delivering meditation techniques, which I have been able to incorporate into my everyday life with fantastic positive results. I was really nervous about teaching others how to meditate and thought that it would be an extremely difficult process to learn. However, Itai was able to break it down so that it was simple, easy and well-paced. I was able to practice what I had learned in a safe and non-judgmental environment, which allowed me to explore and experiment with lots of meditation styles.”

“Not having done any course like this before I can highly recommend it. It was a very inspirational and positive experience. Dr. Itai Ivtzan is really one of those nurturing teachers.

His encouraging and approachable manners inspired me and helped me to break down my personal challenges and as such brought my confidence to another level.

“I absolutely thoroughly enjoyed the Meditation Teacher Training course with Itai. I felt the course had a perfect balance of theory and practice and Itai’s style of teaching was spot on. Itai has such an incredible understanding and knowledge of the world of psychology and spirituality which comes across in his teaching which I believe gives this course the edge over what else is on offer out there. I was initially concerned that the course may be a little too academic due to Itai’s university background but I need not have worried as the teaching is delivered in a simple and clearly understandable way. I sometimes have quite a short attention span but found that I was completely engaged throughout which was amazing. I have come away with the tools and confidence to deliver guided meditations with my groups and now it’s down to me. I look forward to utilising my new skills with my Spiritual Walking and Social Groups. Thank you Itai!”

Training Modules

Click on each module below for full information

  • Theoretical knowledge (Module 1)

    Meditation can have a far-reaching impact on your life. It facilitates a deeper feeling of peace and calm, while at the same time allowing you to engage with yourself at deeper levels. Additionally, meditation has been scientifically researched, and the results have clearly shown that the practice has important benefits. According to research, meditation increases psychological well-being factors such as acceptance, meaning, happiness and compassion on the one hand, and reduces levels of stress, anxiety, and depression on the other hand. This module will provide you with the knowledge and understanding surrounding meditation, including concepts such as “Presence”, “Authentic Self”, “Enlightenment” and “Awareness”.

  • Personal experience and practice (Module 2)

    As teaching meditation begins with a personal experience of it, this teacher training course emphasizes personal practice, alongside the teaching of theory and exercises. You will be trained in a variety of meditation techniques in order to have an intimate and subjective experience of different meditation-based exercises. The list of meditation techniques you will learn as part of this module includes Intention Meditation, Breathing Meditation, Walking Meditation, Smiling Meditation, Body-Scan Meditation, Loving-Kindness Meditation, 1-Minute Meditation, and many more. This course would enable you to psychologically and spiritually grow while engaging with these meditation techniques.

  • Teaching others both theory and practice of meditation (Module 3)

    As you gain knowledge about meditation and learn the experience of meditation, you will realize how you could offer others a similar experience of expansion. By engaging with the materials on a theoretical level (module 1) and practical level (module 2), you will realize how to apply the techniques you have learned so that you could teach others. This module will provide you with practical tools that would assist you in teaching others.

  • Integration of the Modules

    The three modules are not being taught separately; instead, the training continuously moves from one module to another, offering some theory, followed by practice and a teaching session, seamlessly integrating the three modules into a coherent experience. These three learning outcomes (and corresponding modules) offer a process of transformation. As part of this transformation, you will be able to gradually build higher levels of presence – being able to bring your awareness to the “Here and Now”. Meditation invites us to become more present in our everyday life. This course will offer you an opportunity to engage with meditation in a way that will allow that presence to penetrate whatever you are doing during the day. It will shift your mind from one that is constantly busy and scattered to a mind that is focused and connected to the moment. Finally, the course would enable you to share and teach this knowledge; there is great joy in inviting others to grow and transform.

  • Special Sections

    The Meditation and Mindfulness teacher training includes a number of special sections where you will learn unique approaches to mindfulness teaching. For example, the special section of “Mindfulness-Based Flourishing” will teach you how to apply mindfulness not only for stress and anxiety but also to increase happiness, meaning in life, hope, and resilience. Another special section, “Organizational Mindfulness”, will teach you how to apply mindfulness teaching in organizations. The special section of “Mindfulness Games” will teach you how to offer mindfulness through games, a highly-effective teaching technique which appeals to most students and clients. Those are unique teaching sessions and they reflect the innovative teaching we offer as part of this training.
