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."

Breathworks provide essential resources for those with pain and illness and clinicians to enable mindfulness skills. These cherished "must-have" resources guide people to a different journey in living well each day with pain and illness.
Dr Frances Cole, General Practitioner and Clinical Lead, Bradford Teaching Hospitals Pain Rehabilitation Programme

Your own Practice

If you wish to use more extensive mindfulness approaches effectively in your work, you will first need to develop a regular personal practice. Our Teacher Training Level One (TT1) is recommended as it provides the relevant training and support, and can be completed as a residential week or as a series of two-day modules. This event is equivalent to module one, so participants can proceed straight to module two as detailed here.
