Introduction to mindfulness online course

Leicestershire Recovery College are pleased to announce the launch of their first online 'Introduction to Mindfulness' course which you can access by clicking here.

Introduction to Mindfulness is a short course that has been developed by a Recovery College team, comprising of a staff member (Emma Gartland) and a Volunteer Peer Tutor (Will Read).

If you suffer from stress or anxiety then this course could help you to slow down, savour the present moment and be more at peace with your world. Mindfulness, and meditation, has been shown to reduce stress by helping you to be more attentive to the present moment and be less judgmental, especially towards yourself. Mindfulness can even reduce physical symptoms of stress such as hypertension and susceptibility to illnesses such as colds and other ailments.

This course is a shortened version of the longer Learn to Surf course held at Leicestershire Recovery College, which is run by two volunteer tutors. If you want to develop your sense of well-being and be kind to yourself then try this short course. Watch the video here or get in touch with the team for more information.
