Lunch & Learn: Breathe, Move, Align - Beyond the Basics of Mindfulness

Tired of 5-4-3-2-1? A little over your traditional breathing exercises? Ready to dive deeper and truly understand the science behind this powerful (and centuries-old!) practice? Look no further. In this workshop, we will explore neurobiology and how it relates to mindfulness. We’ll talk about how understanding geometry and nature can help redefine how you think about the body, and being present in it. From there, we will dive into new techniques that will take your practice - and your interventions with your students - to the next level. Be prepared to expand your mind and harness the true potential of mindfulness.
