Your Trainer  

Ginny Wall This course will be led by experienced Breathworks teacher Ginny Wall. Ginny is an experienced mindfulness teacher who has been teaching individuals and training teachers for over 20 years. Ginny came across Breathworks after going through a period of emotional pain and anxiety due to family circumstances. Already a long-time meditator, she found the Mindfulness for Health approach, in particular its combined emphasis on awareness and compassion, to be transformational and a real turning point in her practice and life. Her teaching today is very much grounded in her own experience of how these practices can make a real difference in coping with everyday life, work, personal challenges and relationships. As former Head of Training at Breathworks, Ginny was responsible for designing and developing the Teacher Training Programme. Today, she continues to teach Breathworks courses to groups, alongside working with individuals and mentees. She has been extensively involved in adapting the Breathworks programme for the needs of different communities - including younger demographics, the LGBTQI+ community and people with lower literacy levels.  She enjoys working in a variety of contexts from community centres and festivals to workplaces and schools. One of the things Ginny loves most about teaching mindfulness is seeing the ways it can transform people’s lives for the better. Having experienced how it can spread positive ripples out into the world, she loves to witness how it can help people flourish through reducing suffering and promoting resilience and creativity.
