Breathworks Introductory Two-day Course in Mindfulness-based Approaches

Breathworks Mindfulness Teacher in Rome:

"In the past I have done a lot of workshops and retreats, but I never have done anything like the Breathworks training. There was so much peace and ease, everything felt so natural and simple. It was like dropping a small stone into water which had big effects. No drama, but a lot of impact. It helped me find a lot more balance in my stressful life - to have more choice in how I respond to things."

This two day non-residential course introduces you to the use of mindfulness-based approaches to pain and illness. It is also an opportunity to experience the richness that mindfulness can bring to your own life as well as others.

This two day event also forms Module One of the Breathworks Mindfulness Teacher Trainer Level One (TT1)
