Practical Mindfulness Made Easy
As a certified mindfulness instructor, Corin prides herself on providing her students with guided meditations, breathing exercises, and mindful activities that complement even the busiest of schedules. Her teaching style is modern, practical, and informative.
In recent years mindfulness has gained tremendous popularity with its widespread application into many areas of life such as hospitals, schools, veteran’s centers, and prisons. With the mindfulness movement in full swing, why are more people trying mindfulness, even the most skeptical?
Within the last four decades, numerous scientific research studies have shown how mindfulness can enhance our overall well-being in a multitude of ways. Some of these benefits include an increase in concentration, creativity, quality of sleep, as well as a decrease in stress, anxiety, depression, and chronic pain.
