davidji Meditation Teacher Training

Some paths into meditation teaching ask you to memorize a script. This one asks you to sit with the practice until it becomes yours, then share it with others. The davidji Meditation Teacher Training is a virtual meditation certification led by davidji, and it begins on a Sunday in late winter, a natural season for turning inward and starting something that lasts.

Described by the organizer as the only 235-hour virtual meditation teacher training in the world, the program brings together ancient wisdom and modern teaching in an approach rooted in real-world application, community and light-heartedness. You do not need to want a teaching career to benefit. The premise is simple: the best way to master something is to learn how to teach it.

If you are a meditator hoping to deepen your personal practice, a lifelong learner drawn to practices that have endured for thousands of years, or an educator, mentor or professional looking to enrich what you offer, this training was shaped with you in mind. Everything happens online, so you can take part from wherever you live.

What to Expect

The training unfolds over 12 weeks and culminates in teacher certification. The format blends several kinds of learning:

- Self-paced study materials you can move through on your own schedule
- Weekly live sessions with davidji
- A private one-on-one meeting
- A four-day intensive certification week

The curriculum covers meditation techniques, ego-transcending practices, pranayama and breathing practices, the neuroscience of contemplative states, and the methodology of teaching meditation to others. It draws on Vedic philosophy, especially the Bhagavad Gita, alongside teachings from contemporary voices such as Pema Chodron and Eckhart Tolle. Interactive group discussions are part of the experience, and graduates often speak of the community as a highlight.

Each student also receives a personalized Nakshatra birthstar mantra, calculated from Vedic astrology and tied to their birth constellation, to ground their practice in a specific energetic frequency.

After graduation, you become a davidji Certified Teacher and join a lifelong teacher community with ongoing resources, continuing education credits and post-graduate perks. Enrollment is listed from $245 per month, and a free discovery call is available if you would like to talk it through first.
