Saturday morning workshop, 10am-12:30pm

Overcome restlessness, improve concentration, and gain control over negative emotions. Mastery of the mind holds the keys to unlocking a happier, healthier, and wiser version of yourself.

The agitated and restless qualities we struggle with are often characterized as the monkey mind. Mastering it can improve focus and productivity and, more importantly, help tap into the source of peace within, allowing us to be free from anxiety, worries, sleep troubles, and much more.

The ancient science of Yoga offers us priceless keys to work with the body, breath, and life force to tackle and overcome what holds us back.

The morning workshop is designed to be practical and applicable to your daily life. Grounded in practice and experience, it will help you discover tools and techniques that can break old habits and shift your energy in a positive direction.

It is surprising how powerful these simple exercises can be.

The workshop will be helpful whether you have some meditation experience or are a complete novice. Dress comfortably to do some gentle yoga and guided meditation.
