Breathworks offers a wide range of continuing professional development (CPD) opportunities to support you in deepening your mindfulness practice and teaching. CPD events are created based on feedback from our teachers and students about what would be most useful for them. In addition to this we also feature CPD courses from our partners.
These events are specifically designed to meet the needs of accredited Breathworks mindfulness teachers, although in most cases we also welcome teachers trained in other mindfulness-based interventions, as well as students in our training programme. Please see details of each event to make sure you meet the specific requirements for attendance.
Ongoing annual CPD is a requirement of maintaining your accreditation with Breathworks and in keeping with the UK Guidelines for Mindfulness Teachers. This requirement includes completing at least one two-day event per year and participating in an annual residential, teacher-led retreat of at least four nights' duration.
Some of the recordings from online CPD courses we've run in the past are available to purchase and download. Take a look and take a deeper dive into one of the fascinating topics we've given CPD training on in the past. Read more
