Mindfulness Classes

Through mindful awareness, your world can transform, beginning from within. Science proves that mindfulness makes us happier, healthier, and live with more focus, patience and compassion for yourself and others.

Mindfulness is a shift in the way you “pay attention to the present moment, on purpose, non-judgmentally.” which is Jon Kabat Zinn’s working definition, founder of the 40-year old Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program.

With recent scientific research backing the benefits of MBSR and meditation, we can’t help but turn toward this way of being in wiser relation to ourselves and others. Research has proven that our mind wanders through our daily lives almost 50% of the time according to a Harvard study. Replaying events from the past or projecting into the future; we are almost always in “doing” mode. Mindfulness is a way of waking up from auto-pilot and taking control of the steering wheel so to speak, taking back our innate, human ability to fully “be” in the moments of our lives, that can only be experienced directly in the present moment.
