Mindfulness Introduction Workshop: Sat. Sept. 29 at Castro Valley Adult and Career Education

Did you know that even 15 or 20 minutes a day of meditation or other mindfulness practices can improve mood, energy, and overall well-being? Or that meditation can be used to relieve stress-related illness, anxiety, depression, addiction, or chronic pain? Check out our new Mindfulness Introduction workshop and discover the benefits.

In this 3-hour workshop, we'll practice a sampling of mind/body practices including breath awareness, sitting meditation, and simple yoga movements. No prior experience with meditation or yoga necessary. All activities are optional and can be modified for physical limitations.

We also offer a new 8-week course "Mindfulness for Beginners" starting on October 10. For more information, visit our website.
