Mindfulness Yoga & Meditation

The fast pace of our modern world often has us spinning. We live in our heads in the everyday to navigate the busyness and details of our day to day lives. In our hurry and rush we can become stressed and feeling very disconnected or fragmented.

The practice of yoga with mindfulness of the body and breath is a powerful tool to reconnect and ground us in our physical being. This is helpful to bring us to a greater feeling of calm presence in the here and now. To live fully embodied in the present moment, helps us to feel fresh and alive and awakens us to a greater awareness so we can respond to our daily experience with clarity and right action.

In this workshop we will learn:

• Daily self care yoga practice
• Simple breath techniques to calm and ground
• Daily meditation practice to support a feeling of connection and embodiment

Please bring your own yoga mat and blanket for the practice.
