About the course
The weekly course sessions will include guided meditations and indepth teaching on mindfulness principles, practices and techniques. The approach will be experiential, with opportunities for questions and group discussions within a supportive space. The course is led by an experienced and accredited mindfulness teacher with many years of experience teaching the Breathwork’s Mindfulness for Stress course, both in person and online. The course will be held on zoom.
One of the benefits of the Mindfulness for Stress course is having a supportive and friendly peer group sharing the journey alongside you and this creates opportunities to learn from each other as well as the course leader. In order to create a supportive learning space, we keep the number of course participants between 10 and 15.
The course includes home practice with the recommendation to do 20 minutes of meditation each day. You will have access to recordings of guided meditations and other resources linked to the course material which you can download. The course leader will also send a weekly email after each session with key learning points and any additional resources which you can access online.
