Be Mindful…with our programmes in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Mindfulness offers, quite simply, a way of changing your life. By altering the way you think and perceive the world, it makes you less stressed, better able to cope, more positive, more aware – in short, more able to appreciate yourself and your life. Now offered in schools, in management training programmes, in health care and corporate settings, it is the centrepiece of the Mental Health Foundation’s campaign to ‘Be Mindful’. www.bemindful.co.uk/

Originally developed at one of the leading university hospitals in the US over 30 years ago to help manage chronic pain, MBSR’s reputation for helping people to deal with a wide range of problems is now worldwide. Research over three decades has shown that people who complete the course report: • Being better able to relax • Being less distressed by physical and psychological symptoms • Reduced pain levels and an enhanced ability to cope with chronic pain• Reduced anxiety and depression• Improved concentration and memory• Better sleep• Greater energy and enthusiasm for life • Improved self-esteem

Research also suggests that mindfulness strengthens the immune system and develops areas of the brain associated with wellbeing.

We can all benefit from MBSR training: we all long to be centred and at ease with our lives.Duration 9 weeks (plus Sunday, 16 November 10.00-16.00)

In this popular class you will learn postures which strengthen, give flexibility and release tension – and you will be supported by a community of other mothers-to-be over tea and a chat and often for long after your baby’s arrival. This is an ongoing class for which you can book at any point during the term.
