Mindfulness Workshops
A corporate culture of mindfulness can lift an entire workplace. It not only improves focus, but increases the ability to manage stress and for employees to work well together.* In my introductory mindfulness workshops I provide:
the science behind mindfulness,
discuss what mindfulness actually is and the difference between meditation and mindfulness,
the basics of mindfulness meditation and stress reduction techniques, and
the opportunity to practice some short meditations that participants can add to their wellness toolbox.
I include handouts for ways employees can continue to learn more and practice on their own. If desired, I can also include a yoga sequence for the workplace that can be easily practiced at your desk or office. Everything I go over helps to manage stress, improve sleep, and increase overall focus and well-being.

Here is an example of what I offer in a two-hour workshop for employees and administrators:
An opening guided mindfulness meditation;
PowerPoint presentation on mindfulness: what it is, what it isn’t, and what it can do for you;
A longer guided mindfulness meditation, and a guided relaxation practice (each introduced, practiced and followed by discussion);
Guided seated yoga practice, with modifications offered, as needed;
Closing discussion, that includes tips and resources for building an individual practice, as well as discussion of a workplace culture that helps to support employee wellbeing; plus
Handouts are provided for participants to take with them. (handouts can include mindfulness tips and resources as well as examples of the poses taught in the seated yoga practice.)
