Mindfulness for Modern Living

One Life Mindfulness courses take an evidence-based approach to learning Mindfulness. These friendly and relaxed courses are available online and in-person in Leeds. I believe the many recognised benefits of mindfulness are available to anyone, given the right guidance and support.

About One Life Mindfulness

One Life Mindfulness offers 8 week mindfulness courses in person and online, throughout the year. The courses are delivered by Toby Wiltshire, a BAMBA registered mindfulness teacher who has trained with Mindfulness UK and The UK College of Mindfulness Meditation. Toby has practiced mindfulness for 18 years.

It’s important when setting out on this journey that you choose a recognised mindfulness program. Our courses are based on the gold standard Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) pioneered by Jon Kabat-Zinn, which is the most researched and evidence based of all the 8 week mindfulness programmes. MBSR programmes are taught and recognised worldwide.

You will learn to recognise how often our minds run on autopilot, and practise bringing Mindfulness to the present moment. A range of Mindfulness practices and exercises will help you to be able to respond more skilfully when stress and difficulties arise and engage with what is most important to you. These skills will enable you to be present, feel calmer and enjoy greater depths of wellbeing.

  • “Toby is a friendly and inspiring mindfulness teacher who brings his wealth of knowledge to lead you through the practice. He also supports this instruction with insightful readings and study recommendations that help motivate and guide you in your journey.”

  • “I joined Toby’s mindfulness group during a period of transition in my life. His approach has helped me to manage these changes in a more mindful, healthy way; noticing how I’m feeling, being kinder and less judgemental of myself, responding instead of reacting to the daily stresses life throws our way.

    Toby has years of mindfulness practice and he guided us to explore different styles of mindfulness / meditation. He is great at helping you figure out what works best for you. I really recommend joining one of Toby’s courses.”

    - Catherine

  • “Toby is a good teacher, I like the tone and register with which he delivers the guided meditations. Since taking the 8 week course I’ve been able to rapidly de-stress”

    - Ryan

  • “Toby is clearly an experienced meditation and mindfulness practitioner who practices what he preaches. Through sharing his own personal journey and experiences he acts as a guide, offering insight that draws from a broad spectrum of different types of meditation and mindfulness practices. Debates and discussions were particularly useful to help me understand which ideas and methods of mindfulness meditation were most suitable for me. Having recordings of meditations and body scans that I could access at any time were also a huge help in developing my practice outside of the weekly group sessions.”

Hi, I’m Toby. Thanks for your interest in what I do. I’m a qualified and BAMBA registered mindfulness teacher and I’ve studied and practiced mindfulness and meditation for over 18 years.

I was introduced to the work of Jon Kabat-Zinn by a friend after a series of traumatic bereavements and with regular practice I found presence, stillness and relief from anxiety, depression and insomnia.

I first qualified as a Mindfulness teacher in 2021 from the UK College of Mindfulness Meditation and since then I’ve also qualified as a Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) teacher with Mindfulness UK.I mainly teach Mindfulness Stress Reduction (MBSR)in group settings but can also teach one to one if that is more suitable for you. I adhere to the BAMBA Good Practice Guidelines.

As well as being a Mindfulness teacher, I’m also a dad, husband, business owner, musician and composer. My life can feel really busy and full of pressures and distractions - I’m sure most people can relate! I’ve made mindfulness a central, grounding and calming part of my life.

I’m really passionate about teaching mindfulness and believe that the many recognised benefits of practicing regularly can be achieved by anyone with the right guidance.

I aspire to bring a warm, friendly and creative approach to Mindfulness teaching.
