My journey started when I was fully lost in my pain. Struggling to manage back pain and migraines, I felt frustrated and depressed. Nothing worked. It was a very sad time in my life. By chance I attended a few mindfulness classes without holding any hopes or expectations. I was certain that just like everything else I tried prior, this fairly new-then idea of meditation would not be of any help either. But in the fourth class everything has changed for me. During the meditation I suddenly felt my migraine disappeared. It felt like a miracle. Since then I started researching and learning more about how mindfulness works. It was helpful that in 2010-2011 there was sufficient amount of research published online showing evidence of effectiveness of mindfulness meditation practice. So I became adamant to learn more. And as I began to benefit from it more and more, I felt that it would be important for me to share this 'miracle' of mindfulness with others.
I was very fortunate to discover Breathworks on my journey. Mindfulness for Health Course developed by Vidyamala Burch (MBE) has completely transformed my relationship with persistent back pain. I trained with Breathworks to become a teacher. And I am still grateful to all my teachers who supported me. I stopped being a sufferer. Although I still experience discomfort and pain in my back, I live a very contented live and enjoy many things I am comfortably able to do.

How Mindfulness Can Transform Your Life
What is Mindfulness?
Mindfulness is the practice of being fully aware of your thoughts, feelings, and the world around you—without judgment. It involves being present and engaged in daily life, helping you enhance your mental and physical well-being, build resilience to stress, and live more fully. Meditation is a key part of this journey and is simple to learn and practice.
Notice the Difference
Mindfulness is backed by extensive global research, with proven positive outcomes from programs like Breathworks Mindfulness for Health and Mindfulness for Stress. These programs, based on Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), are delivered by accredited, experienced teachers to ensure effective learning.
