Stress reduction and relaxation will support you throughout the pregnancy and during labor and delivery. Classes are ongoing, and new students are welcome to begin anytime. While these classes are appropriate for all levels of pregnancy, please consult your doctor before beginning this practice.

The concept of "mindfulness" seems to be everywhere these days, but what is it. Essentially, mindfulness is inviting your mind to pay attention to this moment, with curiosity and without judgment. The core of this class will be Vipassana (or "insight") meditation techniques, using the breath to help bring focus to your mind. Don't worry...if you can breathe, you can do this! We'll also explore other mindfulness exercises to help you build a personal toolkit of practices that you can use in your everyday life.
Everyone is welcome,no experience necessary!
Discussion, Q & A, meditation practice and insight to bringing more peace into your daily lives.
