This course is an evidence- and tradition-based eight-week journey inward to cultivate moment-to-moment awareness through embodied practices.
The course covers a little neuroscience and topics related to the cultural development of the practices now studied in labs across the world.
We offer a few flavors of this nine week course: introduction, pain reduction, stress reduction, mindful leadership, executive presence, drop-in practice groups, and more.
We can bring these courses to you at home, community group, or work.

A refreshing, mindfulness based full body stretch session in the lovely outdoors. This session is designed to take you on a journey of mobility and resilience from toes-to-nose.
The class is based on the latest meta-studies showing the most effective duration and frequency for increasing flexibility. We will use mindful breath to power our stretching, and we will discuss the difference between muscle elasticity and connective tissue glide to determine what’s really holding us back from our full range of motion. We will also discuss what pain really is and how to shift our relationship to body sensations so that we experience less pain.
