My name is Lynn Keirs, and I am a member of the Royal College of Occupational Therapists and I have worked in health and social care for over 30 years. Following a life changing event I decided to train as a mindfulness teacher. I would now like to share my knowledge and experience with others and promote the benefits of mindfulness based therapy for good mental health and well being and to reduce and manage work related stress and burnout.
Openly Mindful Yorkshire delivers Mindfulness Based Therapy which is a health promotion and illness prevention tool that promotes good mental wellbeing. This means feeling good about life and yourself, and being able to get on with life in the way you want.
We deliver mindfulness training and offer workshops, courses, one to one training, ongoing mindfulness support and workplace based courses. Mindfulness has been clinically proven to improve both physical and mental health and general well being, and can be practiced anywhere at anytime.
Mindfulness has a potential cost advantages as it can be delivered in a group setting, is time limiting, is empowering and therefore has the potential for self management.
We follow the good practice guidelines set out by the UK Network of Mindfulness-Based Teachers Trainers and our practice and supervision is mentored through Urban Breathing space.
