1. Completion of a Teacher Training Level 1 course as a teacher of mindfulness to adults with continued adherence to the UK Network for Mindfulness-Based teachers Good Practice Guidelines<\/h2>\n

You must have trained to teach mindfulness to adults with one of the following organisations, Aberdeen University, Bangor University\/Mindfulness Network, Breathworks, Exeter University, Mindfulness Association Limited, Oxford University – Oxford Mindfulness Foundation, Scottish NHS Mindfulness Network, the Sussex Mindfulness Centre or one listed on the UK Network for Mindfulness-Based Teacher Training before training to teach .<\/span>b Foundations<\/span><\/strong> to teachers and school staff. Please contact us at enquiries@mindfulnessinschools.org<\/a> if you have any questions on this prerequisite.<\/p>\n

You must have taught one or more of the following courses at least twice before training in .<\/span>b Foundations<\/span><\/strong>. The following courses are accepted: MBSR, MBCT, Finding Peace in a Frantic World, Breathworks or Mindfulness-Based Living Course (MBLC).<\/p>\n

.<\/span>b Foundations<\/span><\/strong> is not designed to develop the skills needed to teach mindfulness to adults per se. This 3-day training has been designed to support adult mindfulness teachers in the development of particular skills necessary for teaching mindfulness to adults in a professional, educational setting.<\/p>\n

If, due to exceptional circumstances, you would like us to consider an alternative training pathway, please contact enquiries@mindfulnessinschools.org<\/a>. Please note that we are unable to hold places until an application form is received.<\/p>\n

2. A well-established formal practice of at least 20-30 consecutive minutes, on 6 out of 7 days a week<\/h2>\n

The .<\/span>b Foundations<\/span><\/strong> curriculum is underpinned by knowledge and personal experience of the formal mindfulness practices common to secular mindfulness courses such as MBCT and MBSR. It is therefore assumed that those who attend our 3-day Teach<\/span> .<\/span>b Foundations<\/span><\/strong> training courses have a well-embedded experiential understanding of the key practices involved.<\/p>\n

3. Ongoing commitment as a Teach<\/span> .<\/span>b Foundations<\/span><\/strong> teacher<\/h2>\n

If mindfulness is to become an established part of the education of children and young people, it is vital that the highest standards of professionalism and evidence-based integrity are maintained. We believe that this is in the interests of all those teaching and learning mindfulness.<\/p>\n
