Stress is a natural response, but when it becomes constant it can drain energy, cloud thinking and wear down wellbeing. This practical two-session course helps you understand how stress works and gives you simple mindfulness-based tools to work with it more effectively.

You’ll explore how stress shows up in body, mind and emotions, learn grounding practices to settle your nervous system, and develop micro-tools you can use in everyday life. With guided practice throughout, the course helps you build a personal toolkit for responding with more calm, clarity and self-compassion.
