Conversion training for MBCT/MBSR Teachers

Applying Mindfulness to Chronic Pain and Long-Term Health Conditions

If you are an MBSR, MBCT Teacher our three day intensive non-residential courses will provide you with the Mindfulness based Pain Management (MBPM) framework for helping people with chronic pain and long-term health conditions (LTCs) to live well and flourish.

For those wanting to become an accredited Breathworks teacher, you will be able to use this course alongside your existing training and experience to fast track our training programme.

UNFORTUNATELY WE DON"T CURRENTLY HAVE ANY CONVERSION COURSES AVAILABLE - Please do check back here in 2020 or let us know if you are interested - we are hoping to run our next one late in 2020, which will be online over a period of 4 weeks, with live online sessions and 4-5 hours a week of self-study.

In the meantime, if you are an MBSR or MBCT Teacher wishing to fast-track Breathworks teacher training, you can also do that by taking one of our 8 week Mindfulness Courses (both in person and online) or attending a Mindfulness for Health 5-day residential course.
