A NOTE FROM WENDY
Hi, I’m Wendy, and I’m so pleased you’re here.
Life can often feel busy, overwhelming, or as though we’re constantly moving from one thing to the next. We can spend so much of our time thinking about what has already happened or worrying about what might happen next, that we miss the moments unfolding right in front of us.
PAUSE by The Yoga Space is an eight-week mindfulness programme inviting you to slow down, offering you the opportunity to step out of autopilot and begin living with greater awareness, presence and compassion.
Through simple yet powerful mindfulness practices, you’ll learn practical skills that can help you navigate life’s challenges with greater calm, clarity and resilience.
Whether you’re completely new to mindfulness or looking to deepen an existing practice, you’ll be warmly welcomed into a relaxed and supportive environment where there is no expectation to get anything “right”. Simply come as you are.
It would be a privilege to accompany you on this journey towards living with greater presence, compassion and ease.

AN INTRODUCTION TO THE COURSE
What is PAUSE?
PAUSE is an eight-week, evidence-informed mindfulness programme based on the recognised Mindfulness Now framework.
Designed for everyday life, it combines guided meditation, mindful movement and reflection.
This isn’t about clearing your mind or escaping life’s challenges.
Instead, mindfulness helps you develop the ability to notice your thoughts, emotions and experiences with greater awareness and kindness. As you learn to pause before reacting, you begin to respond with more clarity, compassion and choice.
Over eight weeks, each session builds gently on the last, giving you the understanding, confidence and skills that supports your wellbeing long after the course has finished.
