Mindfulness for Stress Reduction Workshops
We offer workshops to help you reduce stress, and to empower you with stress management strategies based on Mindfulness. During some classes, we will incorporate Yoga postures that promote deep relaxation and stress reduction, as well as Ayurveda principles that can help restore balance.
These workshops can help you strengthen your resilience to stress, and navigate through uncertain and challenging times with more ease and confidence.
What is mindfulness?
Mindfulness is more than just a tool. It is a way of life that teaches us to be aware of the present moment experience of your sensations, thoughts, feelings, and the surrounding environment non-judgmentally, with kindness and an open mind.
There are numerous evidence-based research about the benefits of mindfulness on our health and well-being, including reduced stress, increased productivity and creativity, improved relationships, and better decision making. Engaging in consistent mindfulness practice over a long period of time can result in increased resilience to stress, emotional self-regulation and concentration skills, as well as cultivation of wisdom, compassion and love.
A typical Mindfulness session includes a talk, guided mindfulness practices, sharing and discussions.
