L'autore:

Vidyamala Burch Originally from New Zealand, Vidyamala sustained a spinal injury when she was 16. Over 20 years ago she started exploring mindfulness and meditation to manage her own persistent pain and in 2001 began offering these skills to others, initially with funding from the Millennium Commission in the UK. She has been a practising Buddhist for many years and was ordained into the Western Buddhist Order in 1995. She regularly leads meditation retreats as well as offering mindfulness training internationally to anyone wanting to ease their suffering within the secular context of Breathworks. In 2008 she published Living Well with Pain and Illness: the mindful way to free yourself from suffering which is based on the Breathworks programme. Sona Fricker started meditating in London in 1972 and was ordained into the Western Buddhist Order in 1974. He has also taught and practised hatha yoga for a number of years. After eight years teaching Buddhism and meditation in Stockholm, Sweden, he returned to England and became director of a Buddhist retreat centre in Norfolk. He now lives in Manchester, UK and is committed, through Breathworks, to making mindfulness accessible to Westerners dealing with the stresses of modern life. Sona has a particular interest in meditation and regularly runs courses and retreats internationally in meditation, mindfulness and Breathworks.
