Stress Reduction Through Mindfulness Course

Stress Reduction Through Mindfulness is an 8-week course plus orientation session where you can learn to manage stress through mindfulness meditation. This course has a strong evidence base and is recommended by NICE to help prevent relapse of depression. It is also helpful for anxiety, pain, and general life stress.

Many people who complete this course report benefits such as an increased ability to relax, greater energy and enthusiasm for life, heightened self-confidence and assertiveness, and an increased ability to cope more effectively with stress. They also find that they are kinder towards themselves and others, and more accepting of whatever situation they find themselves in.

The course is taught by Anna Black who has a Masters in Mindfulness-based Approaches to Health. Anna has been teaching the 8-week course since January 2006 and has done extensive training with the Centre for Mindfulness in the UK (Bangor) as well as with teachers from the Center for Mindfulness in the USA. She is the author of "Living in the Moment" (Cico Books 2012) an introduction to using mindfulness meditation in everyday life, which is available from all good bookshops and online.
