"For fast acting relief, try slowing down." Lily Tomlin's simple slogan rings true, but we tend to complicate it. Stillness resides within us all so it’s just learning how to access, practice and become comfortable with it. Meditation can be a tool to manage overwhelm, anxiety, sleep, and distraction, and it builds the capacity for a more mindful life. If you are curious about meditation, what it’s like or how to do it, take time to breathe. Join Gina Sandgren, to meditate and return to work refreshed and grounded. You can choose to sit or lay down for class, and there’s no need to change clothes. No experience necessary or required.

What does gratitude have to do with meditation? They are a potent pairing ushering us into the present moment, the only place life actually unfolds. An attitude of gratitude imbeds a foundation of joy less vulnerable to life’s turbulence, and meditation helps to create space between trigger and reaction so we show up in life less captive to our habitual responses. In this four week series, we will practice breath-awareness meditation, a practical tool to calm the body and mind, paired with gratitude prompts to integrate this joyful practice into our lives. No experience necessary. If you have a yoga mat, please bring it with you.
