“It's made meditation much more accessible and much less daunting. It's replaced complexity with simplicity.”
Justin
“Meditation had always felt elusive to me. Now I can see a real path to a practice that suits many aspects of my life.”

Accredited & approved by
You've felt the pull to teach meditation, to pass on something that's changed your own life. But a doubt sits underneath it: am I experienced enough? Don't I need years more practice, or to be some serene, unshakeable guru, before I could guide anyone else?
Maybe you've meditated for years. Maybe your own practice still feels imperfect, on-and-off, a work in progress. Either way, there might be a voice that says not yet, not you.
Is that doubt telling the truth? Or is it just the story of who gets to teach?
Neither story is true. There isn't one “right” meditation, and there isn't one kind of teacher.
Somewhere along the way, most of us absorbed one story about meditation, and about who gets to teach it. That you must have a perfectly still mind. That real teachers are serene gurus who've transcended it all.
The best teachers don't sit above their students, enlightened and untouchable, they teach from their own honest, in-progress experience, and they know how to hold it safely when something tender surfaces.
You don't need to be perfect at meditation to teach it beautifully. You need to understand it, and learn to guide it, and both are exactly what this training gives you.
A toolkit, not one intimidating thing
Once you understand the range of practices, and the why beneath each one, meditation stops being one intimidating thing and becomes a toolkit you can meet anyone with.
You'll understand what's happening in the brain and nervous system as someone drops in, the brainwaves, the shift from a wired, stressed state toward rest and repair, so you can guide with real understanding, not guesswork. And because it's built trauma-aware from the ground up, you'll know what to do when a practice stirs something up, and when to gently refer on.
That's the difference between “I know a few meditations” and “I can teach meditation to anyone, safely.”
Picture it, though: guiding a room, or a single client, and knowing exactly which practice will meet them, teaching it in plain, warm, accessible language.
Picture teaching from your own experience, without pretending to be enlightened or having it all figured out, grounded, honest, and someone people trust.
That's who you become here: a confident, trauma-aware meditation teacher people feel safe with.
BECOME A MEDITATION TEACHER
This is a 35-hour, CPD-accredited training, and it's really two trainings woven together.
The moment you sign up, you get instant access to both, take them side by side or one after the other, at whatever pace fits your life. Everything's broken into short, clear, bitesize lessons you can fit around your life.
The Meditation Teacher Training
The full toolkit, and how to guide it.
- ✓How meditation affects the brain and nervous system, and the gateways in
- ✓How to teach beginners, brainwaves, postures, and the principles of guiding
- ✓Meditation in the yoga tradition, the 8 limbs, the koshas, mantra
- ✓Non-duality, and resting as awareness itself
- ✓Meditation for intention and visualisation, and working with sound
- ✓Teaching ethics, class structure, and supporting your students
…and a full range of meditation techniques, so you can meet different people in different states.
Trauma Aware Facilitation
So you can hold whatever surfaces, safely.
- ✓What trauma actually is, and how it shows up in the people you teach
- ✓The nervous system in plain terms, and the window of tolerance
- ✓Your scope of competence, what's yours to hold, and how to refer out well
- ✓How to meet what surfaces with steadiness, and know when to gently refer on
This is trauma-aware facilitation: it makes you a safer, more attuned teacher. It never asks you to be a therapist.
Plus a bonus business module, to help you take this into your work. And teaching practice from day one, so guiding a meditation comes to feel natural.
We've trained 2,000+ students
Across breathwork, meditation, yin and somatics, real students, teaching real people.
“This was my second meditation teacher training, and this one finally helped me feel confident enough to actually teach it. Practising teaching throughout the course is such a great way to step into what you've learnt.”
Beth“It's made meditation much more accessible and much less daunting. It's replaced complexity with simplicity, a really profound thing to do in the teaching process.”
Justin“Meditation had always felt elusive to me. Now, under Rachel and Lucy, I no longer feel that way, I can see a real path to a practice that suits many aspects of my life.”
Cheryl“I'm already a mental health therapist, so I know trauma work. This course validated that I'm teaching the right material in the right way, and strengthened my own practice too.”
Marissa“Truly transformative. I've learned to slow down, connect with myself, and create calm even in stressful moments, and I now have tools I can use daily.”
YvonneWhy students choose this
When people weigh us up against other meditation trainings, here's what keeps bringing them to us.
- You learn to actually teach Teaching practice from day one, not just meditating until the course ends.
- A real range of techniques So you can meet any student, in any state, rather than teaching one generic practice.
- Trauma-aware from the ground up You'll know how to hold space safely when something surfaces.
- It fits around your real life Self-paced, with no deadline, so you can do it around work and family.
- Recognised CPD-accredited, plus Yoga Alliance (YACEP) and NASM & AFAA continuing education (1.9 CEUs).

The best of both worlds
Most trainings make you choose between freedom and support. We built ours to give you both, here's how it compares:
| The usual path | Our training | |
|---|---|---|
| Starting | You wait for the next intake | Start any time |
| Pace | You keep pace with the cohort | Your own pace, bite-size lessons |
| Deadline | A short window to certify | No deadline on certification |
| If life gets full | You can lose the window, the money or the certificate | You keep your place and your progress, and pick it up when you're ready |
| Support | Live teaching with a cohort, or no support at all with on-demand trainings | Six monthly live Q&As with us, and a community where we answer your questions |
| Cost | A pricey in-person certification | A fraction of the cost, with lifetime access |
That's the point of it: you shouldn't have to choose between finishing something and having a life. You get the freedom to fit this around everything else you're holding, and the support to know you're never doing it on your own.
Freedom and support, so you can enrol knowing you'll actually finish, and feel held the whole way.

Questions
Do I need any experience?
No. Beginners are welcome, we start from the fundamentals and guide you the whole way.
Is it accredited?
Yes, CPD-accredited (35 hours), plus Yoga Alliance continuing education (YACEP) and NASM & AFAA (1.9 CEUs), so it counts toward your professional development.
How long does it take, and is there a deadline?
It's self-paced, most people take a few weeks to a few months. You have lifetime access and no completion deadline, because life happens.
Is it live or self-paced?
Both, lessons and practices are pre-recorded so you can do them any time, plus six monthly live Q&A calls with Rachel & Lucy in your first six months, and a community where we answer your questions.
Do I need to speak English?
Yes, the training is delivered in English, and your teaching practicum needs to be in English too. If English is your second language, you're very welcome; we take that into account and don't expect perfection, you just need to understand and speak English well enough to take part fully.
How do I get certified?
Work through the modules at your own pace, filling in the short reflection forms as you go and keeping a simple practice log. To certify, you complete your teaching practicum (two short videos) and a written quiz. By then you'll have practised so much it feels like a formality.
Do I have to be good at “switching my mind off”?
No. Meditation was never about a blank mind, and you don't need a “perfect” practice to learn to teach it well. You'll learn a whole range of practices, and how to guide people who feel exactly the way you might right now.
Learn with Rachel & Lucy
You'll learn with Rachel Fearnley and Lucy Foster-Perkins, two teachers and two mums who've taught yoga, breathwork and meditation around the world, and built a thriving online training school, training thousands of students in breathwork, meditation, yin and somatics. They build their trainings around real, full lives, and teach in a way that's warm, honest and human. They're also the published authors of Somatic Practices for Trauma.
