Mindful lunchtime on a barge anyone?
We have come across a unique, local opportunity to learn simple techniques to help you cope with stress and improve your sense of wellbeing.
Barge Fiodra is a floating mindfulness studio and is currently moored opposite Granary Square steps on the Regent’s Canal. Classes are taught by the skipper, Bob Chase. Bob trained to teach mindfulness with Bangor University Centre for Mindfulness Research and Practice and has 30 years’ experience of meditation.
“Mindfulness with Bob at lunchtime is always a re-energising break. For 45 minutes I forget about the outside world and its worries and relax deeply. It really makes a difference to my day.” Staff Member, Cancer Research UK
Heard about mindfulness but not sure where to start?
No fad, mindfulness is recommended by doctors* and is now being taught to MPs in Westminster and to pupils in schools. People who practise mindfulness report increased ability to handle stress, better focus and increased self-awareness.
Taster sessions are designed to introduce you the concepts, allow you to try some techniques and learn about where you can learn more.
