About the training:

Mindful Movement is an essential part of mindfulness-based approaches but often the most neglected. In our personal practice we may omit movement practice, while as teachers we can struggle with the practicalities and confidence in teaching. This training will support you to come to know and befriend mindful movement practices, with all the challenges, joys and fruits this entails.

During this one-day workshop we will enquire theoretically and experientially, into the role of mindful movement in mindfulness-based approaches. Participants will be supported to deepen their personal understanding of why movement is important and to teach movement with confidence and integrity.

Who is the training for?

This training is suitable for anyone who has followed a foundation Mindfulness-Based Programme such as MBSR or MBCT. All those working within the mindfulness field including teachers (emerging, new and established), trainers, supervisors, retreat leaders are welcome as well as anyone wanting to deepen their own understanding and relationship with mindful movement.

Participants will be invited to practice at their own pace, respecting the body and working kindly within your own limits. Please feel free to contact us beforehand if you have any physical or health conditions that you are concerned may impact on this training.
