Our training

Our mindfulness teachers are all trained by Breathworks and accredited to deliver Mindfulness for Health and Mindfulness for Stress courses. Our teachers maintain annual registration with the British Association of Mindfulness Based Approaches (BAMBA) and/or Breathworks (a BAMBA founding member). This means we follow a code of ethics, have a personal mindfulness practice which we maintain with regular retreats and take part in Continuing Professional Development and supervision. We work in a trauma informed way.
