Mindfulness for
English Speakers
Courses, workshops and individual sessions taught entirely in English — for expats, internationals and English speakers living in Kraków.
Present. Aware.
Kind.
Mindfulness is the practice of bringing your full attention to the present moment with openness and compassion. It's about noticing your thoughts, emotions, and sensations without judgment — allowing you to respond to life's challenges with greater clarity and calm.
The Breathworks Mindfulness approach builds on these principles, offering a structured way to develop mindfulness skills that enhance well-being and resilience. It emphasises gentle awareness of the body and breath as anchors to the present moment. Through regular practice, participants learn to cultivate acceptance — even in the face of discomfort or stress.
What sets Breathworks apart is its focus on kindness and compassion alongside mindfulness — and its emphasis on integrating practice into daily life. By the end of an 8-week course, you'll have a solid foundation in mindfulness, compassion, and meditation, and know how to apply them in a way that really makes a difference.

Why Breathworks
Mindfulness
"Breathworks is a revolutionary and comprehensive approach to mindfulness — experiential and practical, not academic."
Breathworks Mindfulness is used in over 30 countries and is recognised as an evidence-based approach to reducing stress, anxiety, chronic pain and improving overall quality of life. It was developed by Vidyamala Burch, whose own experience of chronic pain led her to create a methodology that is both scientifically grounded and deeply human.
What sets Breathworks apart from standard MBSR courses is its emphasis on kindness and compassion alongside mindfulness — making it warmer and more sustainable as a long-term practice.
Dawid Faron
I began practising mindfulness and meditation in 2008. Since 2015, I have focused on the Breathworks approach, completing a two-year teacher training course in the UK. I am a certified Breathworks teacher and regularly attend retreats and trainings in the United Kingdom.
In daily life I practise with the Triratna Buddhist Community, where I also teach meditation. In 2019, I spent several months on a silent meditation retreat in the mountains of Spain, completely disconnected from the outside world.
Besides mindfulness, I enjoy trail running in the mountains and playing the guitar.
