Cultivate, develop, and strengthen your awareness through the simple act of choosing to pay attention to each breath. This thirty minute plunge into the stillness of the body is the ideal way to do just that. In doing so, you'll discover that offering your best attention to the moment is actually an act of love. “By offering this time to yourself...to slow into the experience of your own being, you’re expressing your intention to be a better friend to yourself... to learn how to navigate the ups and downs of life with steadiness, with mindfulness, and with deep self respect.”
