Workshop 4 – Wellness, Mindfullness & Yoga
Are you often stressed, finding yourself weighed down by self-doubt and fear? Do you struggle with controlling situations or letting things go, such as dwelling on the past and worrying about the future? Would you like to know how to change this?
Instead of letting your life pass you by, come and learn about mindfulness, living in the moment, and awakening to experience your true inner self. Try out some Yoga poses and learn a few helpful breathing techniques that will teach you more about this relaxing but powerful form of exercise. You’ll be sure to feel empowered, uplifted, and FRESH!
If you practice yoga with an awareness of yourself you come to learn about the different ways you act, how you react, and will get to know the real true you – in creating awareness of yourself you can transform your mind, which in turn affects how you live your life and how you interact with others. Through a mind, body, and soul transformation you will be able to create and control the best life you wish to live!
The continued practice of yoga will lead you to a sense of peace and well-being, and also a feeling of being at one with their environment.
