Benefits of Joining the MTA Register
Join the UK’s Leading Professional Body for Mindfulness Teachers
Becoming a member of the Mindfulness Teachers Association (MTA) Register means joining a growing community of professionally trained, ethical, and committed mindfulness teachers. As the UK’s largest professional body and register of accredited mindfulness teachers, the MTA exists to uphold standards, support best practice, and strengthen public confidence in mindfulness-based approaches.
Why Join the MTA Register?
1. Professional Recognition and Credibility
Membership on the MTA Register signifies that you have met high standards of mindfulness teacher training, ethics, and ongoing development. It shows that you are committed to evidence-based, trauma-sensitive, and inclusive practice. Being listed on the Register reassures potential clients, employers, and commissioners that you are a trustworthy, qualified mindfulness teacher.
2. Supportive Professional Community
The MTA is more than a directory—it’s a network of like-minded professionals who are dedicated to integrity, compassion, and service through mindfulness. As a member, you gain access to peer support, networking opportunities, discussion forums, and events designed to help you grow and feel connected in your work.
3. Upholding Best Practice in a Unregulated Field
Mindfulness teaching is currently an unregulated profession in the UK. The MTA was created to fill this gap—offering an independent, not-for-profit professional register maintained by a team of experienced and dedicated volunteers. We believe teachers should be held to high ethical and professional standards. Joining the MTA means voluntarily aligning with those values.
4. Ethical and Professional Standards
These standards are based on widely respected Best Practice Guidelines and adapted for today’s evolving mindfulness landscape.MTA Registered Teachers agree to uphold a clear, public Code of Ethics and Professional Practice, including:
• Appropriate participant screening and safeguarding
• Trauma-sensitive, inclusive approaches
• Commitment to personal practice and continuing professional development
• Receiving supervision from experienced mindfulness supervisors
5. Be Part of a Movement for Integrity in Mindfulness
At the heart of the MTA is a commitment to quality, accessibility, and sustainability in mindfulness teaching. We advocate for socially responsible mindfulness and welcome teachers from diverse backgrounds, traditions, and communities. Whether you’re delivering mindfulness in schools, healthcare, the workplace, or the wider community, your voice matters here.
6. Listing on the MTA Register
Your public listing allows potential participants, employers, and course organisers to find you by location, specialism, or training background. It’s a powerful tool for building trust, increasing visibility, and aligning your teaching with professional integrity.
