As we move our body...our brain grooves. Our amazing brainshave the capacity to form new neural pathways. When leaning something NEW, our brain begins to form temporary connec-tions. As we practice and repeat behaviors, those temporary connections become permanent. (verywellmind.com)INSTRUCTOR: Mary Schwoerer (verywellmind.com)

This class will introduce you to foundational techniques like breath awareness and body scans to cultivate mindfulness, reduce stress, and improve focus in a supportive setting, covering basic postures, different styles (mindfulness, loving-kindness), and practical tips for integrating stillness and present-moment awareness into daily life to achieve inner calm and well-being.

You will receive guided instruction and practice core methods, focusing primarily on breath awareness (noticing inhales/exhales) and mindfulness: understand how to gently redirect wandering thoughts back to the present moment without judgment, using the breath as an anchor.

Ideal for anyone curious about meditation or who has tried and found it difficult, anyone looking to manage anxiety and stress, or anyone seeking to enhance mental clarity and attention. You will leave with practical, simple tools to start a personal practice, realizing that meditation is a skill that develops with consistent, non-judgmental effort, not about achieving perfect stillness.
