The Impact of Self-Compassion in Practice - Thursday 10th September 2026 14:30-16:30 UK time with Karen Atkinson
A 2-hour workshop exploring self-compassion in mindfulness for yoga teachers. Through guided practices and reflection, it supports resilience, emotional balance, and sustainable teaching, helping you care for yourself as deeply as you care for others
Yoga teachers spend so much time holding space for others, guiding, supporting, and offering care. Yet often, the same compassion we extend outward can feel harder to offer ourselves.
This workshop is an invitation to turn towards that.
Led by Karen Atkinson, CEO of MindfulnessUK , this 2-hour session explores the role of self-compassion within mindfulness practice as something lived, embodied, and deeply practical. Rooted in the Compassionate Mindful Resilience (CMR) programme, you’ll be guided through experiential practices and reflective inquiry that support a more balanced, sustainable way of teaching and living.
Mindfulness and compassion are two essential qualities that work together. Awareness through mindfulness helps us see clearly, and compassion enables us to respond with kindness. Without that balance, it’s easy to fall into patterns of striving, self-criticism, or depletion.
This session offers space to pause and notice what’s here for you. To explore how self-compassion can support emotional resilience, regulate the nervous system, and deepen your connection to both your practice and those you teach. Research has shown meaningful increases in resilience, mindfulness, and self-compassion among participants of the CMR course, highlighting the real-world impact of these practices.
You’ll leave not only with practices you can draw on personally, but also with insights that can subtly shape the way you hold space for others.
