ABOUT SAMAVIRA
Samavira is building the world’s first scalable meditation brand through an accredited instructor certification and licensing model — think Zumba, but for meditation.
The problem we’re solving:
Most people can’t sustain a meditation practice, because apps create passive dependency and use generic one-size-fits-all content that fails to meet individual needs. Meanwhile, qualified meditation teachers lack the skills to build a sustainable meditation business, despite growing demand.
Our solution:
We train people to design a personalized meditation style, based on their unique mind and nervous system, supported by live community and accountability systems. In addition, we certify instructors and license them to deliver our training in their local communities under our brand.
What makes us different:

Our Method: Personalized approach — we teach people to become independent meditators, not app-dependent consumers
Our Programs: Meditation courses, teacher trainings (with accredited certification), and corporate wellness programs
Our Business Model: Turnkey brand licensing system — certified instructors receive our brand, curriculum, business playbook, marketing materials, and ongoing support to start local meditation hubs, becoming Samavira brand ambassadors

Current stage:
Established brand with initial traction: active community and proven training programs
Next milestone:
Preparing to fundraise to accelerate growth and launch our brand licensing model
