About Breathworks 

Screenshot 2022-05-22 at 13.18.34.png

Breathworks is a mindfulness organisation and registered charity based in the United Kingdom. Founded in 2001, Breathworks was a seed from which Vidyamala hoped to realise her vision of helping people living with pain and illness.

 

Along with Co-founders and experienced mindfulness teachers Sona Fricker and Gary Hennessey, Vidyamala developed Breathworks’ core Mindfulness for Health, Mindfulness for Stress and Teacher Training programmes. The Breathworks' Mindfulness-based Pain Management (MBPM) programme has been supported by research and is recognised by the NHS and health boards globally. 

​

Over the years, Breathworks has grown to become a flourishing and dynamic international organisation that has reached over 100,000 people around the world and trained over 600 teachers in 35 countries. 

​

Keenly aware that it is the people who are most in need of mindfulness training who are least able to access it, Breathworks operates as a charity and raises funds to invest in course bursaries, research and partnerships to remove barriers to taking part in its courses and trainings.
