Mindfulness Training: Videos

This series of exercises is based on the MBSR concept (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction) developed by Prof. Dr Jon Kabat-Zinn. It can support you in your working day by helping you face daily challenges with greater composure, presence, and self-care. With regular practice, the exercises promote greater awareness, self-regulation, and stress management.

You can find five exercise videos here.

Work and Family (PEBA): Mindfulness Coaching

Do you find it difficult to maintain a balance between work and family? Do you feel you constantly need to do more or perform better? Are you unable to switch off and let go? Are you looking for a way to live more mindfully, initiate a process of change, or develop a creative and healthy approach to stress? If so, mindfulness coaching may be the right option for you.

The online mindfulness coaching:

• shows ways out of the stress spiral and towards inner balance,
