Meditation University: Build A Career As A Meditation Teacher

Course program

How to Build a Career as a Meditation Teacher is a professional development course from Meditation University, led by Ashton August, founder of YogiApproved.com and YouAligned.com. Ashton uses her own company as a case study, walking students through the practical steps of building a sustainable career as a meditation teacher while staying connected to personal practice.

This course is for aspiring and current meditation teachers who want to turn their practice into a livelihood. No prior credentials are listed as a prerequisite, but the content assumes the student is committed to teaching meditation. It will suit those exploring branding, marketing, and audience-building, alongside meditation practitioners ready to share their work professionally.

The curriculum is organized in two parts. The first part introduces Ashton August and uses YouAligned.com as a case study, drawing out the lessons of her own path through media, content creation, and audience growth. Students review a set of slides that accompany this section.

The second part focuses on the practical work of building a meditation teaching career. It begins with a best practices overview, then moves into the L.A.F.E. framework, the design of teacher offerings, and a structured look at branding, messaging, and marketing. The course closes with a final reflection and takeaway lesson that helps students apply the material to their own work.

Throughout, Ashton emphasizes positioning yourself within the market, creating video and written content, and nourishing your own practice as you grow a business.

The course is taught by Ashton August, founder of YogiApproved.com and YouAligned.com. She built both into a wellness media presence and uses her experience as the case study for the course.
