Vidyamala Burch's Life Story

Breathworks is a not-for-profit social enterprise and leading international mindfulness organisation co-founded by Vidyamala Burch.The Breathworks approach is grounded in compassionate awareness, with a gentle, gradual transformation of our relationship to all our life experiences, including our pain or difficulty. We invite everyone engaging with Breathworks practices and courses to take care of their own well-being as fundamental to our approach. If you suffer from physical, emotional or mental health conditions, please take care not to push yourself past your own safe boundaries when following guidance in Breathworks practices. Please remember that you are always the best person to know what is right for you:

- don’t persist with any practice that is triggering difficult experiences that feel too much or harmful for you.
- adapt practice guidance in a way that you feel most comfortable with.
- speak to your mindfulness teacher or health practitioner if in any doubt.
