"The Breathworks approach to Mindfulness-Based Pain Management (MBPM) is the most comprehensive, in-depth, scientifically up-to-date and user-friendly approach to learning the how of living with chronic pain and reclaiming one’s life that I know of.....I admire Vidyamala (Breathworks founder) tremendously... her approach could save your life and give it back to you."

Mindfulness for Stress
​
During this course we learn to foster mindfulnss and kindly awareness through formal practice meditations, including, body scan, mindfulness of breathing, listening to sounds, mindful movement, working with thoughts and kindness meditations.
​
Each week we will work with a different theme and introduce a new practice, or develop one that has been learned previously. We will also introduce short practices that can be incorporated into our daily living.
Through these practices we can learn to have more choice in how we respond to life's events and therefore change our relationship with stress.
