TESTIMONIALS ABOUT THE COURSE

  • The Introduction to Mindfulness Course was a truly excellent introduction to mindfulness practice. The weekly sessions were enjoyable and highly effective in helping us understand and apply the various mindfulness techniques. Tania was a talented and meticulous instructor who facilitated the sessions with a welcoming, kind and compassionate energy that helped us feel at ease, encouraged us to share our experiences with each other and motivated us to be consistent in practising the techniques explored.

    At the same time, her expertise in and passion for mindfulness were evident in her confident delivery of the material and thoughtful answers to our questions. At the end of each lesson, we were assigned a few techniques to practise during the week, and I felt that the structure and accountability really helped to cement the practices in my daily life. I came away from the course with first-hand experience of how the mindfulness techniques introduced could help with various concerns in my life, as well as the inspiration to continue using them.

    — Joanne

  • I had been practicing meditation for a few years on my own, with bits of advice found here and there on the Internet. I applied for Tania's Introduction to Mindfulness Course, hoping to find a more structured way to approach meditation and to fill gaps in what I felt was missing in my empirical practice. This class not only fulfilled my hopes but also exceeded my expectations.

    Tania is excellent at presenting concepts in a gradual approach and guiding meditation exercises. In the comfort of my own home, I appreciated how much she kept us engaged with the material she presented and ensured we were all following her. I felt a growing bond within the group of participants, which also made it a great experience of connecting with others. I highly recommend this class to anyone interested in practicing meditation and not sure where to go from where they are.

The material is clear, concise, and well-structured, which is just right for the basic level. I had the pleasure of meeting like-minded people and sharing our time. Tania is a natural teacher who helped me improve my meditation practice with her personal, gentle, and attentive approach.

  • A truly transformative class. Excellent guidance and a good pace. I learned more about mindfulness and forged a deep connection with the other participants. It's a great way to start or enhance your meditation practices. I highly recommend it.

    — Christian

  • I have greatly appreciated the caring and welcoming atmosphere that Tania had created. This course was a space where you could be imperfect, ask questions, make mistakes, which has greatly contributed to the quality of learning. I liked the visual presentation of the material and the way the material was structured.

    Thanks to the course, I have changed my attitude towards informal mindfulness practice and started to appreciate it more. I also found the information about stress and self-regulation very useful.

    — Julia

  • The Introduction to Mindfulness course conducted by Tania has been a time for me to discover new aspects of life and myself. It really helped me to take time to better feel what was happening around me and to be able to better identify and name my feelings and reactions.

    I would recommend this course to anyone who is willing to discover mindfulness meditation!

    — Jean-Baptiste

  • It was a high-quality course; the material was well structured and presented in a very clear way. I have learned a lot of new and interesting information, and now have a much clearer understanding of what mindfulness meditation is.

Overall, I feel that this course has supported me in becoming more present in my life, and I appreciate that.
