About Me

**Alireza Zamani** has been teaching and facilitating mindfulness programs professionally since 2018. He holds a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and believes that authentic and effective mindfulness teaching emerges from a teacher's own personal practice, lived experience, and an ongoing commitment to learning.

His journey into mindfulness began through experiencing its profound impact in his own life. Since then, he has dedicated himself to sustained personal practice, professional training, study, and teaching. Personal mindfulness practice remains at the heart of his professional life. He regularly participates in **Silent Retreats** and also facilitates three- to five-day Silent Retreats as part of his ongoing work.

Alireza completed the **MBSR Advanced Teacher Training** directly through **Bangor University**. He also completed **Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness** training under the direct guidance of **David A. Treleaven**, as well as **Mindfulness Teacher Training** and **Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Teacher Training** with **Amirhossein Imani**. In addition, he completed professional training in **Self-Compassion** with **Naghmeh Karimi**.

Since 2018, he has facilitated a range of mindfulness-based programs, including a **One-Year Mindfulness Training Program**, **Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)** courses, and shorter mindfulness programs focused on the foundational attitudes of mindfulness.

Alireza's teaching is grounded in the understanding that mindfulness is not simply a collection of techniques but a way of being. What he brings into the classroom is shaped not only by professional training and academic study, but also by years of personal practice, reflective inquiry, retreat experience, and direct work with participants. He is committed to creating a safe, respectful, and experiential learning environment where people can cultivate mindfulness as a sustainable part of everyday life.
