Mindfulness at Work

WE TEACH MINDFULNESS FOR BETTER MENTAL HEALTH AT WORK

"It has really helped me deal with work stress and I can't recommend the course enough."

Our approach

Our courses support employees to bring as much of themselves as possible to their work. This includes their energy, skills, ideas, enthusiasm, insights and creativity. This way of working relies on self-awareness of what makes us tick, and the potential we all have to change and grow.

The Breathworks programme supports people to begin to develop this essential kind of self-awareness and then learn how to apply that awareness to the complex work environment.
