Professional Register

When choosing a mindfulness teacher or training provider, it’s essential to look for those listed on a recognised mindfulness register that upholds clear professional standards. These registers, such as the MTA professional register, endeavour ensure that practitioners meet rigorous training, ethical, and supervision requirements. By choosing a registered teacher, individuals and organisations can be confident they are working with someone committed to safe, effective, and evidence-based mindfulness practice.

Leading the Way in Professional Standards

Promoting the highest standards of evidence based mindfulness practices and requirements for continuing professional development and supervision for registered mindfulness teachers.

Best Practice Guidelines for Mindfulness Teachers 

The MTA Best Practice Guidelines outline the core criteria required to teach secular, evidence-based mindfulness safely and effectively. Because mindfulness is currently unregulated in the UK, these benchmarks act as the gold standard for self-regulation and public safety.
