Mindfulness Training Courses Online

Practice first. Understanding follows.

Learn mindfulness through attention, experience and reflection

Mindfulness is the practice of noticing present-moment experience with curiosity and less automatic judgment. In a course, that means working directly with the breath, body, thoughts and emotions—not simply collecting definitions or trying to keep the mind blank.

Our online mindfulness courses combine guided practice, discussion and opportunities to apply what you learn. You can join to develop your own meditation routine or follow a progressive pathway into mindfulness teaching skills. The aim is a practice you understand well enough to use thoughtfully in everyday life.

Explore the difference between mindfulness and meditation if you are deciding where to begin.

From understanding to application

What you’ll learn in mindfulness training

The curriculum brings together contemplative practice, reflection and teaching methodology. The emphasis changes as you progress; the individual course pages provide the level-specific syllabus.

01

Attention and present-moment awareness

Explore what mindfulness is, how attention wanders and how to begin again without turning practice into a struggle. Develop a language for describing your experience clearly.

02

Breath, body and everyday practice

Practice breath awareness, body scan and mindful movement. Bring attention to ordinary activities such as walking, eating and listening, so learning extends beyond formal meditation.

03

Thoughts, emotions and compassion

Notice the difference between an experience and the story you build around it. Explore self-compassion, responses to difficult emotions and a more considered way of relating to others.

04

Mindfulness tools and interventions

Study practices such as STOP, RAIN and awareness of sound alongside the approaches covered in your level. Understand the purpose and limits of a technique before offering it to someone else.

05

Guiding practice and communicating clearly

Develop skills for giving understandable instructions, facilitating reflection and responding thoughtfully to questions. Teaching methodology and practicum become part of the learning pathway.

06

Ethics and continuing development

Explore responsibility, respectful communication and the boundaries of a mindfulness teacher’s role. Consider how ongoing personal practice supports the way you work with other people.

Practical learning outcomes

Depending on your completed level, you will work toward establishing a consistent practice, describing core mindfulness principles, choosing suitable foundational exercises and preparing guided sessions within your experience. Progress comes through participation, personal practice and assessment—not a promise of instant mastery.

Live online. Personally guided.

How your Zoom mindfulness training works

Attend two-hour live sessions, Monday to Saturday.

Learn with an instructor in real time rather than relying only on prerecorded lessons. Guided exercises give you direct experience; discussion helps you examine what you noticed and ask questions about the practice.

Between classes, return to the exercises and reflection tasks introduced in your level. Confirm any additional independent practice or practicum requirements before enrolling; these are separate from the daily live session.

Joining from the United States

Tell the school your city or time zone when asking about a batch. Confirm the exact start and finish times in your local time before making a payment. Daylight-saving changes may affect the time difference between the United States and India.

Prepare your learning space

  • A reliable internet connection and a device that can run Zoom.
  • A quiet space with a comfortable chair or meditation seat.
  • Headphones if helpful, water and a notebook for reflection.
  • Time to attend the full two-hour session and practice between classes.

Ask about recordings or a missed-session arrangement before booking; availability should be confirmed for your batch.

Choose with confidence

Who are these courses for?

The foundation level suits adults beginning mindfulness, people returning to meditation and yoga practitioners who want a more structured awareness practice. Later levels are for students ready to develop their practice and teaching skills further.

The school’s minimum enrollment age is 18. Level 2 follows Level 1; Level 3 follows Levels 1 and 2. Discuss previous training with us if you are unsure which level is appropriate.

Personal practice or teacher training?

You do not need a plan to teach to begin learning. If your goal is personal practice, focus first on developing a routine you can sustain. If you intend to guide others, examine the teaching methodology, practicum, ethics and assessment requirements as carefully as the meditation content.

What this pathway represents

This is Adwait Yoga School’s three-level mindfulness training. A short course should not be assumed to be equivalent to a separate MBSR, MBCT or clinical teacher-training pathway. Choose the qualifications and supervised experience appropriate to the work you intend to do.

What is included?

Tuition and the mandatory course text are included. A certificate is awarded after successful completion of the applicable attendance and assessment requirements. Confirm how your learning materials and certificate will be provided for your selected format.

Planning an offline visit?

The offline tuition figures above do not include travel, transfers, food or accommodation. Ask for a separate residential quote if you need these services, and confirm the training location before making travel arrangements.

Participation matters

Attendance, assessment and certification

To receive the certificate for your level, meet the school’s attendance and assessment criteria. The published requirements include at least 90% attendance and a minimum 40% score in the relevant written and practical assessment.

Attend actively, review the course material and complete the practice work assigned by your instructor. Ask how missed sessions, assessment and practicum are handled before your batch starts.

Use your certificate accurately

Your certificate records completion of Adwait Yoga School’s course level. It does not by itself establish a clinical license, a university degree, external accreditation or permission to practice every form of therapy.

If you plan to work with an employer, professional association or particular group, check their requirements for training, experience and supervision. We encourage a clear distinction between mindfulness education and clinical treatment.

Your next step

How to enroll in a mindfulness course

  1. Choose your level and format

    Review the syllabus and prerequisites. Decide between live Zoom classes and offline training in India.

  2. Confirm your batch

    Ask about the start date, Monday–Saturday timetable and local time-zone conversion. Confirm the fee and any independent practice requirements.

  3. Apply and reserve your place

    Complete the registration form. The school’s enrollment terms require a 30% advance deposit, with the balance due one day before the course begins.

Registration and cancellation terms

The advance registration deposit is non-refundable. In an emergency, the school may permit a transfer to another scheduled batch within 12 months. The course’s published terms do not provide refunds, credits or transfers for cancellation during or after the course has started. Review the refund policy and confirm the terms that apply to your booking before payment.

Before you book

Online mindfulness training: frequently asked questions

Are the online classes live or prerecorded?

Online training sessions are live via Zoom. You learn with an instructor in real time. Ask the school separately about recording access or missed sessions; these arrangements should be confirmed for your batch.

What days are classes, and how long is each session?

Classes run Monday to Saturday. Each daily training session lasts two hours. Confirm your batch’s exact start time before enrolling.

How long does each course level take?

Level 1 takes one week, Level 2 takes two weeks and Level 3 takes three weeks. These are separate course levels with Monday–Saturday classes and two-hour daily sessions. Ask about any additional independent practice and practicum requirements.

Can I join from the United States?

Yes, you can attend the live online training from the United States. Send your city or time zone when contacting the school so you can confirm the local class time, including any daylight-saving difference.

Do I need meditation experience?

Level 1 is the beginner pathway. Level 2 is intended for students who have completed Level 1, and Level 3 follows the first two levels. Contact the school to discuss equivalent previous training rather than assuming direct entry to an advanced level.

How much does online mindfulness training cost?

Live Zoom tuition is US$250 for Level 1, US$450 for Level 2 and US$650 for Level 3. Offline tuition is US$299, US$499 and US$699 respectively. Residential services are separate from the offline tuition shown here.

Will I receive a mindfulness course certificate?

A certificate for your completed level is awarded after you meet Adwait Yoga School’s attendance and assessment requirements. It is a school-issued course certificate. Confirm any separate professional or employer requirements for your intended work.

Is this the same as an MBSR or MBCT teacher qualification?

No equivalence should be assumed. This page describes Adwait Yoga School’s three-level program. MBSR, MBCT and other professional pathways can have different prerequisites, supervision and assessment requirements.
