All courses at the British Mindfulness Academy are evidence based, drawing upon the latest scientific research from the fields of Mindfulness and Neuroscience. Our Mindfulness courses are unique as they combine elements from Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Mindfulness Based Coginitive Therapy (MBCT) with research-based tools from Positive Psychology. The most recent research has shown that this combination obtains superior and longer-lasting benefits for course attendees.
