100 Hour Meditation Teacher Training in Rishikesh – 2nd - 14th Jan 2027

This 12-day residential immersion is designed to help you deepen your personal practice while building the confidence to guide others. Set in the spiritual heart of India, it offers the opportunity to graduate as a certified meditation teacher in a truly supportive environment.

A Path Toward Inner Stillness and Teaching Confidence

Our 100-Hour Meditation Teacher Training in Rishikesh is a foundational program for two kinds of seekers: those who want to strengthen their own meditation practice, and those who feel called to teach meditation and share its benefits with others. As a structured and comprehensive starting point, this course opens the door to the essential principles behind meditative practice.

Rather than simply learning how to sit in silence, you will explore the science, philosophy, and art of meditation. The training is intended to help you gain mental clarity, cultivate inner steadiness, and develop an authentic voice for guiding others toward peace.
