During this Workshop, participants will learn how to...
- Practice mindfulness, meditation, and yoga.
- Increase ability to relax while resting in the present moment.
- Improve ability to cope with stressful situations.
- Release tensions and increase energy.
- Cultivate skills in being present to bring more joy, creativity, and happiness into life.

Who should attend this workshop?
Anyone with a curiosity about mindfulness, meditation, and yoga as it is presented in our Mindfulness-Based programs! This workshop is for people who have little to no experience or would like to jump start their practice with these methods, including those who are considering taking our center's programs, such as MBSR and MSC, and people looking for community and on-going opportunities to practice Mindfulness.
Compassionate Awareness - Starting with the Self (June 8, 2013)
"You cannot heal what you cannot feel." - Dale C. Bronner
Come explore how to relate more kindly to yourself through bringing awareness to not only thought patterns, but how it is you feel physically, mentally, and emotionally. By connecting with the breath, body sensations, and cultivating a curious, rather than judgemental awareness of the mind and body, you can compassionately respond to your feelings, whatever they may be, rather than react through self-criticism, self-doubt, and shame.
Check back for future themes happening in MM&Y workshops every second Saturday of the month!
