Mindfulness CLASSES at holme pierrepont hall

A SPECIAL SPACE FOR WELLBEING

In the wonderful surroundings of Holme Pierrepont Hall, you can sample a range of mindfulness classes & events designed for all levels by myself, Paulo Karat, university lecturer and registered mindfulness teacher.


Using the hall in the winter and the gardens in the summer, you will be given space to find some peace and step away from the busy mind. 


You will learn how to cultivate different ways of relating to the challenges and stresses in life, but also to be fully present in the moments of happiness.


If you’d like to...

  • Reduce your perception of stress
  • Reduce fretting, worrying & rumination
  • Get more enjoyment from everyday experiences
  • Be fully present in your life (e.g. with family)
  • Be able to let things go so they don't eat you up
  • Put things in perspective & see the big picture more clearly
  • Choose what you focus attention on - prioritising & making wise choices
  • Remain ambitious and goal-focused, but in a sustainable way
  • Achieve high levels of health and wellbeing


...then come and join me. You will learn how mindfulness actually works through a mix of theory and mindfulness 'practices' (including short meditations, mindful movement, walking, QiGong and occasional Hatha Yoga where appropriate). You will be supported to bring mindfulness into your everyday life - and work - so that you can be the best version of yourself. 


My classes draw on a robust grounding in mindfulness theory and practice from the evidence-based '8 Week Courses' (in particular MBSR and MBCT) but are delivered with a lighter touch and with more flexibility to choose your own pace, intensity and direction. MBSR was developed at the University of Massachusetts Medical School in the 1970s (initially to help patients with acute and chronic pain) and informed the development of Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy in the 1990s. MBCT is recommended by NICE and available on the NHS as an intervention for people with a history of 3 or more depressive episodes.
