YOUR FACILITATOR IS KIRTI DUBE
Kirti is a devoted Vipassana and MBSR practitioner. She had her first
introduction to meditation at the age of 10 through her Grandfather
who was a dedicated yoga practitioner in India. Since then, shes had a
strong inclination towards working on self through various techniques
of meditation. Her fondness for meditation took the form of regular
committed practice and became a way of living for her a few years ago
when she used alternative therapy and meditation to avoid surgery and
cure her chronic medical condition. She has firsthand experience of
what can be achieved in personal health and in life with meditation
and mindfulness.
Kirti is a certified Trainer for students with Intellectual
Disabilities and regularly uses mindfulness at work. She has worked
with youth and their parents, helping them achieve academic goals
through her coaching and mentoring skills. She has designed and
facilitated half- to full-day professional development workshops for
job seekers at work and for small to medium businesses in her
community on using meditation and mindfulness to improve productivity.
Some of her techniques also come from her mother who is a
Psychotherapist and who has mentored her over the years.
Participants from her workshops say that Kirti brings great energy and
vibe into her workshops and that she has a powerful way of reaching
the attendees through her own stories and experiences. Tools and
techniques given by her, when practiced regularly, transform the way
participants cope with stress and anxiety and bring about positive
change in their mindset.
Kirti practises Vipassana with her husband with whom she has been
happily married to for 23 years. She is also the proud mother of one
son.

Mindfulness means paying attention in a particular way; On purpose, in
the present moment, and non-judgmentally. Jon Kabat Zinn (Professor of
Medicine Emeritus Stress Reduction Clinic and the Centre for
Mindfulness in Medicine).
The benefits of regular mindfulness are
? Reduced stress and anxiety
? Improved sleeping patterns
? Less self-judgement and more self-acceptance
? Greater feelings of joy and freedom
? Improved mental health
? Effective ways to work with difficult thoughts and emotions
