Workshop Description

As part of the workshop, I’ll talk about the connection between Breath and Mindfulness. Mindfulness here relates to becoming aware of our emotions, which are a faculty of our mind. I’ll talk about stress, anxiety, particularly in the current situation, and how breathing and meditation, when incorporated into our daily practice, can significantly alleviate them. The participants will have the opportunity to experience a simple breathing technique, followed by a guided meditation.
