The Online Platform Built for Meditation Teachers
Meditation does not fit neatly into “course platform” or “video catalog” categories. The way meditation is taught and consumed is quieter, more relational, more rhythmic. Marvelous was built by people who understand that.

Meditation teaching looks different from other wellness work
You probably do some combination of weekly live sessions, audio recordings, a monthly membership, a course or two, 1:1 practice for students who want personalized guidance, and quarterly workshops or retreats. Most platforms are built for one of these things. None of them quite fit the way a meditation teacher actually works.
1
Course platforms are built for self-paced binge consumption. Meditation is the opposite of binge consumption.
2
Video catalogs emphasize visual content. Audio is often more central to meditation than video.
3
Community platforms are built for discussion. Meditation students do not always need a forum, they need a teacher and a practice.
4
Consumer apps aggregate teachers and take a cut of your revenue. They are not your business.
Marvelous handles all of it. Live classes, audio and video content, memberships, courses, 1:1 sessions, and event-style workshops, in one tool with a flat monthly price.

What you can build on Marvelous
Five things meditation teachers run on the platform every day.
Schedule weekly meditation circles, monthly intensives, or daily morning sits. Native Zoom integration. Class packs and drop-in pricing for visitors.
Upload guided meditations, talks, and dharma teachings. Organize by length, theme, or tradition. Members get unlimited access. Students can stream or download.
Meditation students stay longer than students of almost any other wellness practice. A monthly membership combining live sessions and an on-demand library is the most sustainable business model in meditation.
Run a 4-week introduction to meditation, an 8-week mindfulness program, or a multi-month silent retreat preparation course. Drip content week by week.
Built-in scheduling, session tracking, Google Calendar sync, and a private space for each student where you can share recordings and personalized guidance.

A real teacher, a real practice
“I joined Marvelous earlier this month. Within a few days I did a soft launch of my meditation membership to some of my current and past students. Within one week I doubled my initial investment. At day 15 I made my first $1,000.”

Meditation teacher who launched a membership to his existing students.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best platform for selling online meditation classes?
Marvelous is built for wellness teachers, including meditation teachers. It includes live class scheduling, audio and video libraries, memberships, courses, 1:1 sessions, and a wellness marketplace. Plans start at $79/month with no transaction or revenue fees.
Can I host audio meditations on Marvelous?
Yes. You can upload audio files, organize them into libraries by length or theme, and let members stream or download. Audio works alongside video and other content types in the same library.
How is Marvelous different from Insight Timer?
Insight Timer is a consumer meditation app that aggregates content from many teachers. They take a cut of your revenue and control the relationship with your students. Marvelous is a platform you own. You set your pricing, build your own community, and keep all of your earnings (minus standard payment processing).
Does Marvelous work for teachers who only do live classes?
Yes. You can run a Marvelous business that is entirely live, with no on-demand content. Schedule recurring sessions, sell class packs and drop-ins, and integrate with Zoom. The on-demand library is optional, not required.
What does Marvelous cost for a meditation teacher?
Plans start at $79/month for Essentials, $125/month for Solo (best value), and $179/month for Pro. There are no transaction fees on memberships, classes, or coaching. A free trial is available.
