CANCELLED - An Introduction to Mindfulness

Apologies, this course is cancelled but other dates and venues are still available please search using code TS 342.

Outline

Mindfulness is recognised as one of the most effective skills to improve mental and emotional wellbeing. Studies show that mindfulness training improves health, greater resilience to stress, increased concern for others and an improved ability to pay attention. Reportedly, the government will provide means to teach mindfulness in schools for children aged 8-12 by 2020.
In this course you will learn what mindfulness is and consider how it enables us to:

Increase sensory awareness
Give greater cognitive control
Enhance regulation of emotions
Accept transient thoughts and feelings
Improve our capacity to regulate attention

Please bring a comfortable rug/yoga mat and cushion for floor work. Floor work is not compulsory and being seated on a chair is the alternative posture for some of the exercises.
