About the Workshop

Mindful Photo Update
Mindfulness practices provide us with tools for resilience, stress relief, and inner confidence. Our bodies and minds are intricately connected, but we can get stuck in our heads, as our mind spins with anxiety or uncertainty. Bringing the body and mind together in “bodyful” work, we can reclaim our bodies and our minds from stressors and from the feelings of “blah” in being cooped up at home.
This workshop offers a balance of inspired movement and inner calm, in a non-judgmental spirit of exploration, with live connection and community. Through this workshop you will gain some simple tools to engage with your own body and mind, as empowering self-care.
