Introduction to Mindfulness

Service Description

It's easy to live life on autopilot, caught up in worries about the future or replaying the past. It's been claimed that because our minds are 'invaded by thoughts,' we can lose up to 9 out of every 10 seconds of our lives*.... Mindfulness helps us return to the present moment for a richer and more nourishing experience! Regular practice can also reduce stress and improve focus, as we are calmer. Join this "Compassionate Mindful Resilience (CMR)" course to develop kindness to yourself and others. This helps us build stronger relationships, feel more connected and better able to face life's challenges. You will learn short, accessible practices designed to fit into busy lives. I have been teaching yoga since 2018, with mindfulness at the heart of my classes. I am now training with MindfulnessUK to become a qualified CMR teacher. I'm delighted to offer this evidence-informed, internationally recognised course at an introductory price. (The regular price will be approx £150). What you'll learn Week 1: What is Mindfulness? And how Compassion transforms the way we respond to stress. Week 2: What is Emotional Intelligence? How to develop self awareness. Week 3: Developing Resilience -understand the neuroscience. Week 4: Feeling Resourced – Practical short tools for your long term use.
