mindfulness meditation
Balance body and mind.
Mindfulness meditation is the practice of training your attention to be more present more of the time.
Incredibly, the simple exercise (practiced daily!) of attention brings clear and lasting benefit.
Bringing a mindful attention to the body enhances physical health and athletic performance by:
+ improving focus
+ reducing stress & tension (which impede metabolic health)
+ reducing pre-game/activity tension and jitters
+ promoting increasing bodily awareness
+ promoting awareness of flow states
+ improved rest & recovery (through learning how to truly rest the body)
Class Outline:
+ Welcome & greetings
+ A short talk relating mindfulness to daily life
+ Guided mindfulness meditation
+ Sharing and questions/answers
+ Closing
