Train to Teach

The Oxford Mindfulness Centre aims to tackle the shortage of trained practitioners by fostering a community of practitioners with the expertise to deliver high quality MBCT which complies with the UK Network for Mindfulness-Based Teacher Trainers Good Practice Guidelines and to contribute to the development and dissemination of this innovative approach to mental and physical healthcare.

How do I become a Mindfulness Teacher?

Please see the UK Network for Mindfulness-Based Teacher Trainers Good Practice Guidelines for further details about what you need to do to train to teach. There is a flowchart here: [Training Pathway PDF] which outlines the steps you can take. At present, we are developing an MBCT Training Pathway but until then we run a suite of courses which represent the various stages in teacher training.

These are:

Directly offered by the Oxford Mindfulness Centre:

• MBCT classes for the public

For mindfulness teachers:
