Welcome to the American Mindfulness Institute

At the American Mindfulness Institute, we offer affordable, internationally recognised training that supports the development of the Mindful Self—a grounded sense of clarity, calm, confidence, and compassion.

Our curriculum spans a full spectrum of professional training, from teaching mindfulness to children and delivering MBSR, to applied pathways in Mindful Speaking, Storytelling, Wisdom, and Self-Defence.

We help students:
• Gain respected qualifications without long-distance travel
• Grow personally while developing practical, real-world skills
• Build ethical, purpose-driven mindfulness practices and businesses

Whether your focus is inner resilience, communication, protection, or teaching, our mission is simple:
To make world-class mindfulness education accessible, embodied, and transformative.

The DEMAND for Mindfulness Teachers has never been greater.

The World Health Organisation recently stated that by 2030, mental health issues will form the biggest burden on health care resources including heart conditions and cancer. Mindfulness-based approaches such as MBCT are recommended by the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (Nice) for preventing relapse in patients with recurrent depression, and is successful in half of all cases. Such findings have been backed up by neuroscience.
