Mindfulness Class

Mindfulness is a special way of paying attention to our lives in the present moment.  Beginners often use focusing on their own breath to slow the mind, relax the body, and enjoy each moment we are alive.  In mindfulness, we do not compete or judge ourselves or others. Benefits can include: relaxation, reduced pain, reduced stress, better sleep, lower blood pressure, lower blood sugar and a general sense of well-being. This simple technique is easy to learn, portable, and is an easy way to better your health, one step at a time!
