Free Mindful Living Program Begins September 16 at Simi YMCA

A four-session mindful living class is being offered at the Simi Valley Family YMCA beginning September 16. The classes are free to the community.

Mindful living is the ability to use knowledge, personal understanding and simple meditative techniques to foster peace, happiness and awareness in the present moment without judgement.
“By using the techniques taught in the classes, you are able to better focus on what really matters in life. That means better relationships, improved physical and mental health and increased energy,” says Mitch McManus, healthy living and sports director at the Simi Y.

Leading the sessions is Lindsay Leimbach who has over 23 years of experience teaching classes on mindful living, active awareness and integrity before schools, groups and businesses.

Dates and topics are September 16, “Finding Your Inner Powers and Decreasing Negative Thinking,” September 23, “Mindful Relationships with Significant Others and Grown Children,” September 30, “Mindful Forgiving of Self and Others” and October 7, “Mindful Awareness of How We Personally Deal With Our Time and Our Ability to Sleep.”

Classes are Wednesdays from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the Y (3200 Cochran St, Simi Valley). To register, call the Simi Valley YMCA’s membership service desk at 805-583-5338.
