Mindfulness and Compassion Teacher Training

MindfulnessUK offer a variety of programmes to suit everyone, from complete beginners, to those wishing to gain a qualification to use mindfulness and compassion in their work. Over the many years of teaching mindfulness, we at MindfulnessUK have witnessed the transformative qualities of practice for individuals and groups over and over again. We are well aware that by teaching the skills to make changes, we are facilitating others to take responsibility for their own health, outlook on life and personal growth. In doing so they are then well equipped to flourish, developing a deeper connection with themselves and enhancing their relationships with others.

Research shows mindfulness can support people affected by cancer.

But how it’s offered matters.

Mindfulness without compassion can feel dry. Compassion gives people ways to meet fear, pain and uncertainty with kindness.

Support also needs to be tailored.
In gynaecological cancers, this can include practices that acknowledge pelvic floor health, body image changes, hormonal shifts and fatigue.

This is why the Compassionate Mindful Resilience (CMR) programme can be adapted for specific needs, not adapted in name only.

Thoughtful research matters.
So does how it’s put into practice. 💙

One week to go!

If cancer has touched your life, whether you’re living with it now or in recovery, this course was designed with your experience at its heart.

The Compassionate Mindful Resilience with Cancer Support programme is created and taught by Karen Atkinson, CEO of MindfulnessUK, and is research-backed, internationally recognised, and professionally accredited.

With the course starting next week, this is the final opportunity to take part.

Many young people are growing up in a very different attentional landscape.

When life feels fast, loud, or emotionally intense, longer practices aren’t always accessible.

Shorter moments of grounding can make mindfulness feel safer, more possible, and more supportive.

We’re grateful to be working alongside the Wakefield Council Youth Hub, supporting staff with practices designed to meet young people where they are.

Sometimes, a few moments really are enough. 💙

When you’re living with or affected by cancer, energy, focus, and emotional capacity can change from day to day.

Longer mindfulness practices aren’t always accessible in those moments. Shorter practices can offer a way to stay connected, supported, and resourced without asking more than is available.

This is why our Compassionate Mindful Resilience with Cancer Support course is built around brief, gentle practices, shared in a supportive group of people who understand.

If you’d like to explore this approach, sign up to the course via link in bio 💙

If you’re back at work and feeling stretched already, we see you.

This short practice is a small pause you can return to whenever the day feels like too much.

Mindfulness has to fit real lives.

Many people step into teaching mindfulness and quickly realise how hard it can be to offer something that feels relevant and distinctive.

Daily life brings fluctuating capacity, limited time, and uneven energy.
Longer practices aren’t always accessible in every setting.

When teaching is adaptable and responsive, people feel met rather than instructed.
Practices become something to return to, not something to keep up with.

For those wanting to teach professionally, this matters.

Teaching with awareness of capacity builds trust, confidence, and sustainability, for teachers and participants alike. 💙

This story is worth reading.

The Compassionate Mindful Resilience course was developed through lived experience, years of practice, and extensive research

But it’s stories like Louise’s that show how this work is received and lived day to day.

Her experience speaks to what can happen when mindfulness and compassion are offered in a way that feels gentle, relevant, and deeply human.

We’re grateful to everyone in our community who shares their experience so openly. It’s a privilege to witness how this work supports people through times of challenge, uncertainty, and change 💙

Thinking about becoming a teacher?

If you’ve been exploring mindfulness and compassion teacher training, and want a clearer sense of what’s involved, we’re hosting a free online session this January 13th.

This is a short, supportive session led by Angie Ward, CXO and Course Lead at MindfulnessUK.

Together, we’ll explore:
• What teacher training really involves
• The shift from personal practice to teaching others
• The inner capacities needed to teach safely and sustainably
• How compassion and resilience sit at the heart of our training pathway

This is your opportunity to gain clarity, ask questions, and reflect on whether this path feels right for you.

When someone is affected by cancer, the body often lives with ongoing stress and uncertainty.

Research shows that mindfulness and compassion practices, even as short as five minutes, are associated with improvements in heart rate variability, a key marker of stress regulation and resilience.

Short, compassionate moments can still help the nervous system settle when longer practices aren’t possible. 💙

Our team isn’t setting resolutions.

As we step into 2026, we asked our team to reflect on what feels supportive and real.

What came back wasn’t about pushing harder or fixing ourselves. There were no rigid goals or self-optimisation culture.

Just human intentions that support creativity, connection and wellbeing, at work and beyond
