About Simply Mindful Canberra - Mindfulness, Yoga, Self-compassion, Meditation. Anxiety and stress management

Simply Mindful is a Dickson-based wellbeing studio combining mindfulness meditation with gentle, mindful movement in a calm, purpose-built space known as The Gathering Place. As Canberra's certified provider of Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction since 2004, it has long helped locals build calmer, less reactive minds.

The heart of the offering is structured learning, from the eight-week MBSR foundation course to Positive Neuroplasticity Training and Self-Compassion programs. Around these run regular mindful yoga and meditation sessions, early-morning practice, graduate groups and immersive retreats, so members can keep their practice alive between courses.

Participants describe the experience as genuinely life-changing: a science-based approach delivered by skilled, warm teachers in an inclusive, judgement-free environment. People report calmer minds, less anxiety and richer relationships, often recommending it before they have even finished a course.

With mindful yoga, meditation and supportive teaching all under one roof, Simply Mindful suits anyone in Dickson and greater Canberra seeking to manage stress and anxiety while gently caring for body and mind.
