BAMBA is a Charity and is the UK’s primary professional body of mindfulness practitioners, supervisors, teachers and teacher training organisations. Our mission is to promote safe, ethical and inclusive practices in the field of evidence-based secular mindfulness teaching in the UK.

The BAMBA Register is a publicly searchable list of mindfulness professionals, teachers and supervisors who meet BAMBA’s Professional Standards and have completed a minimum 12-month training with a BAMBA Quality Assessed Affiliate Teacher Training Organisation, or have undertaken training or have experience that is equal to or exceeds BAMBA’s minimum standards. It’s a trusted resource for individuals, communities, and organisations seeking qualified teachers who work to high professional and ethical standards.

Being on the register demonstrates a teacher’s commitment to Professional Standards and good practice, continuing professional development and ethical practice.
