Mindfulness

Welcome to Mindfulness at Kyra. We been offering mindfulness training and practice groups for our members since 2017.

Nearly one hundred women have done mindfulness with Kyra since we began the groups and we are delighted that the Purey Cust Trust https://pureycusttrust.org/ who support health and healing in and around York, and the Ways to Wellbeing programme, have both given us funding to run  courses. See our Activities timetable for details of these courses.

If you would like a place, please email bookings@kyra.org.uk.  The course will be suitable for those without any experience of mindfulness.

Practice Group 2021

We are currently using Jon Kabat-Zinn’s Seven Pillars of Mindfulness as a theme for each session.

He talks about the foundations of mindfulness practice in his book “Full Catastrophe Living”. We hope that this will provide a deeper understanding and appreciation of the practice of mindfulness and how it can empower women to have a choice whether to respond rather than react to life’s challenges.
