Vidyamala Burch

Vidyamala Burch founded Breathworks (www.breathworks-mindfulness.org.uk) which grew out of her personal experience of managing chronic pain following spinal injuries and surgery in her teens. She learned mindfulness and compassion meditations within the Buddhist tradition when she was 25 and has used these over the subsequent 30 years to create a fulfilling quality of life, despite ongoing pain and disability.
