Course - Online Mindfulness Taster Sessions
Often we go through life on automatic pilot. Rarely do we stop to pay attention to what is going on around us. Mindfulness helps us to see clearly what is going on in our lives.
Taster sessions are a great introduction to the Breathworks approach to mindfulness for pain, illness, stress and wellbeing. They are also a great refresher for those people who have just got out of the habit of meditating regularly and who would like to re-establish their daily practice.
These sessions are run in a friendly group setting. You will be given an introduction to what mindfulness is, how it is practised, and guided through some short meditations. You will come away with some simple practices to help you incorporate mindfulness into your daily life.
As well as giving you an introduction to mindfulness and the Breathworks approach, this informative mindfulness taster session will also enable you to understand which of the two eight week courses are most suitable for you, either Mindfulness for Health (MfH) or Mindfulness for Stress (MfS). If you have already booked onto and paid for either of these eight week courses, the great news is that you can attend one of my taster events completely free of charge.

My mindfulness taster sessions are great preparation for what you will experience on an eight week mindfulness course.

I normally run these one hour sessions in the weeks prior to the eight week courses, on different days and times to make them accessible and flexible for everyone (see upcoming taster session dates and times below).
Please be aware once you have booked a place on an eight week course and then you attend a taster session and you decide that mindfulness isn’t right for you, you can cancel your course place and you will be fully refunded the cost of what you have paid for the eight week course.
