Breathing Space

Breathing Space is run by the London Buddhist Centre, based in Bethnal Green, East London. We teach Mindfulness Based Approaches (MBAs) to help people look after their mental health. MBAs can be used in many ways, particularly for preventing relapse into depression and addiction, and to help manage stress and anxiety. We have helped over 5,000 participants since 2004 when we first opened our doors as the UK's first purpose-built venue. MBAs are clinically tested and proven to work. In our own feedback evaluations, over 80% of participants have reported a reduction in stress. Clinical trials suggest that taking a Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy course is as valuable as taking anti-depressants. Breathing Space has a strong commitment to serving the local communities. Under its Mindfulness for All Scheme, it offers a number of subsidised places. All NHS workers, teachers and students are eligible for its concessionary rate during 2020.
