Mindfulness
Welcome to Koru Mindfulness, where we provide a comprehensive mindfulness service to help you cultivate a more balanced and present state of mind.
At Koru Mindfulness, we offer a range of services to meet your individual needs. Our experienced and trained professionals provide one-on-one coaching, group workshops, and online courses to help you develop mindfulness skills that will enhance your daily life.
Our approach to mindfulness is based on the evidence-based curriculum developed at the UK College of Mindfulness Meditation, which has been shown to improve resilience, enhance well-being, and reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression.
Many mindfulness courses end with a gift day — this can be experienced as a one-off enjoyable day or as an introduction to mindfulness, including guided meditations, gentle flow movement, sound bath and aromatherapy, walking meditation, a delicious lunch, mindful art or crafting, seated chair massage, and music and poetry.

Quick Questions
What does sitting still with my eyes closed have to do with my life?
Formal sitting meditation is a training, like other practised activities, that helps strengthen your ability to focus — one of the fundamentals of leadership and clarity.
Can I listen to music while meditating?
The aim of mindfulness practice is to strengthen your ability to stay with what is occurring in your experience right now, so it's worth experimenting to see what supports your attention best.
I cannot sit still for 10 minutes, is it OK if I move around?
Through mindfulness practice we learn more about the relationship between body and mind — quieting the habitual jumpiness of the body supports sustained attention.
How long will it take before I notice a difference?
It's common for people to report within a couple of weeks of dedicated practice that they can meet situations with a new sense of choice in how they respond.
