Julie Anne Larkin, Mindfulness Coach
Eating and breathing can be done mindfully, as well as sitting, following your thoughts, and walking in nature. Learn how to work mindfulness, which can help relieve anxiety and stress, into daily activities.
Riverwood Healthcare Center is offering a 4-week series class at our hospital in Aitkin on Wednesday evenings, 5:00-7:00 p.m. on Nov. 4, 11 and 18 and Dec. 2. The third session on Nov. 18 will be three hours long and meet from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m.
Mindfulness is learning practices that move a person into awareness of the present and away from patterns that may be stressful, restrictive or non-productive.
Julie Anne Larkin, mindfulness coach, will introduce participants to simple ways to integrate mindfulness practices into daily life, including yoga, meditation and breathing exercises. Limited to 15 participants, the cost of the class is $50, which includes a manual with CDs of yoga, meditation and other practices for use at home.
