“MBSR” stands for Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction
The MBSR course teaches you how to recognise stress in yourself and others, enabling you to self-manage and self-regulate the body’s response to stress. The programme introduces you to practical ways of looking after your well-being and to manage your stress levels.
Mindfulness training can teach you how to create an internal space in the mind and body, among all the mind clutter and the busy-ness of every day life. Once you know how to create an internal space, you can take more control of your thoughts and emotions and choose how you respond, particularly in difficult and stressful situations.
We provide Stress Management programmes to companies that are interested in supporting the well-being of their employees. The benefit of completing the programme is increased resilience, reduced absenteeism and improved working relationships.

Structured MBSR Courses

The additional benefits of training on a 1-2-1 basis with Jo Clarke of Inner Space Works, is that we can schedule the appointment times to suit you and, as we know how busy life can get and how things can change at the last minute, we add flexibility to the mix, to alleviate any additional pressure.
We are currently offering this course via Zoom video conferencing, which means you can training with us wherever you are in the world.
The commitment we ask of you, is that you complete all 8 sessions of the course. The value of committing and completing the course, is that you will have followed the structure from beginning to end, which of itself can feel like an accomplishment and, the course was created in such a way that by session 8, you will feel have integrated mindfulness into your life.
This course has also been scientifically researched and proven to help people to self-manage Workplace Stress, Life Stress, Anxiety, Depression and physical pain.
You will gain from the course as much as you put in. You may never feel as though you have time, so making time is important.
