Mindfulness - learn to practice mindfulness meditation for wellbeing
Van 81.52 $ /h
The ancient practice of mindfulness - cultivating present-moment awareness - is a powerful way to manage stress, find balance, and reconnect with who we really are. Increasingly used in the workplace to enhance productivity and creativity, mindfulness can lead to a greater sense of well-being and fulfilment.
Here, you can learn mindfulness in a one-to-one setting to received tailored classes and support.
Josh came to mindfulness at a challenging time and found that it gave him a new sense of calm and positivity. As his interest grew he attended meditation courses, joined a Buddhist study group and helped facilitate mindfulness classes and retreats. In 2018, he completed the Zenways 100hr Mindfulness and Meditation For Health & Wellbeing Teacher Training taught by Zen Master Daizan Skinner. He has since delivered mindfulness classes at London South Bank University, Paramount Pictures, WeWork, Arup, and in the local community.
Josh is based in Cornwall and also work as a musician and guitar tutor.
TESTIMONIALS:
"Josh has been a great coach and teacher and has really opened my eyes to many ways I can cope with my anxiety and stress. I am so grateful for the opportunity to do this course as I have gained a lot of knowledge ... and it really helps me to keep positive and have gratitude." Sandra
"Thank you, Josh, for such a fantastic mindfulness course. I am so sad it’s over; it’s been a journey of discovery for me. I have learnt to slow down, breathe, and enjoy life. Thank you so much. The content of the course and the way in which you teach made it so engaging." Clare
"I wanted to thank you for a great course. I did not really have any expectations from mindfulness practice but it has been very helpful to deal with stress as well as have a more positive outlook towards life. Your approach to teaching is also a stress-reducer – walking into class and hearing your calm, reflective presentation was enough to put me in the right frame of mind!" Siddharth
"I really enjoyed the course and recommend it to beginners. I went in knowing very little and feel like I have a much better understanding of mindfulness and myself afterwards. You created a calm environment, encouraged us to ask questions and we shared some really useful and non-judgemental discussions. Thank you." Ciaran
"I found Josh's Mindfulness course very helpful for dealing with stress/anxiety. We practised a variety of meditation techniques which I intend to continue. The emailed audio meditations and informative handouts were also very good." Clive
"This introduction to Mindfulness has been a huge benefit to me in relieving stress and improving my general wellbeing. As a result of the positive effects to my improved health, I feel it has also improved my creative work and helped me manage the daily stressful tasks with a calm mind. It has been an incentive to practice meditation on a daily basis. Highly recommend." Howard

As a music teacher, I have successfully built long-term relationships with students, schools and colleagues. I have a naturally strong rapport with students of all ages and am able to balance a friendly, welcoming disposition with a dedication to musical progress and technical development. I am committed to delivering high-quality, well-planned lessons with an overarching programme of study for each student. I have successfully taken students through grade exams and am confident in preparing and accompanying students for recitals. I am a diligent and responsive communicator and have strong relationships with students’ parents, with ongoing communication to report progress and set goals. I am also a certified mindfulness teacher.

TESTIMONIALS:
"My son has had Josh as a guitar tutor for 6 years. I can highly recommend him. He has a fantastic manner and rapport with his students. He is an exceptionally skilled guitar player and tutor. My son has made phenomenal progress with Josh and has enjoyed working with Josh towards his Trinity Grades in classical guitar. In addition, Josh has motivated my son to compose his own music - with fabulous results." Amanda
"Josh is very talented. He is flexible about what we play and finds things that suit my ability. He creates a fun environment to learn." Arthur, aged 14
"Josh has been teaching my son electric and electro-acoustic guitar for a year. His stimulating and relaxed approach means that I find my son plays his guitar on a daily basis just because he enjoys it, yet he is still covering quite a lot of technical stuff." Polly
"My 12-year old daughter has been taking guitar classes with Joshua Geffin for over a year now. Previously she tried a couple of different instruments and music teachers but even though she is very musical and loves music, she would get bored and lose interest after a while. Josh’s inspirational and creative approach to teaching changed all this. She became passionate about playing her guitar, singing and writing her own music. Practicing is no longer a chore but fun and she looks forward to her class every week. In a relatively short period she made remarkable progress and has recently won a full music scholarship at Kingsdale." Duska
"I took up the guitar in my 30s and am far from a natural musician! I’ve had a few teachers – all brilliant guitarists - but none have quite combined the same high level of patience, encouragement and flexibility as Josh. He let’s me play music I love and progress at my own pace. As a ‘mature’ student with an incredibly busy job, it is important that I don’t feel under pressure if I haven’t played between lessons. Josh is completely understanding of this and the fact that he teaches at my home is a massive bonus. He is a natural and talented teacher and I would not hesitate to recommend his lessons to anyone of any level." Jeanette
"I have been having lessons with Josh for around 2 years now. He has really helped develop and improve the quality of my playing and also my appreciation of music as a whole and I am very happy with my progress. The lessons are always relaxed and enjoyable, but also professional with a focus and tailor-made according to my own personal goals, which I like. I prefer to concentrate on learning songs and to experiment with a variety of genres. Josh helps me do that and he keeps things fun by mixing in improvisation sessions and technique development to bring me on and help me improve as a player." Pete
