“I didn’t really believe that mindfulness could help me with my experience of pain and physical suffering … This course has completely changed my perception and understanding of ways in which I can change my attitude towards it… Thank you so much!”

– Tam, Mindfulness for Health student

Who is this course for?
This course is for you if you’re finding living with a health or pain condition challenging. Your condition may be short or long-term, and it doesn’t matter if you have a diagnosis or not. You don’t need to have done any Mindfulness before.

You’ll be invited for a pre-course chat with Sally to confirm that the course is right for you at this time (if you’re going through a big life event or experiencing an intense period of anxiety or depression it’s probably not the best time to do this course).

What will I learn on the course?
The course is based on both clinical research and the lived experience of Vidyamala Burch who has used Mindfulness to manage a debilitating pain condition for 30+ years.

You’ll receive a free copy of her book ‘Mindfulness for Health’ which won first prize in the 2014 British Medical Association Awards.

You will learn:
 Mindfulness and self-compassion skills to take into your daily life
 How to live in the present moment and breathe into your experience, rather than tensing against it
 How mindfulness can help you to manage and live well with pain and chronic health conditions
 Gentle mindful movement practices
 The art of taking joy in simple pleasures
 Transformative body and breath awareness for relaxation, tranquillity, and to release of tension
Pacing and how to break the ‘boom and bust’ cycle.
