Looking to begin or reinforce your meditation practice in the new year?
Join seasoned practitioner and Good Life Center consultant Maria Sperduto for a month of Koru Mindfulness at YLS! In Koru, you will explore new skills every week to find what works best for you. Koru is designed to help you build the habit of meditation and it works. In randomized control trials, Koru is found to reduce stress, improve sleep, and boost self-compassion with just 10 minutes of daily practice.
All levels of experience are welcome, but for some classes you will need an item to lift with one hand. This item can be a dumbbell or kettlebell or it might be a jug of milk or Clorox (something that can be gripped with one hand). It would also be a good to have a yoga mat, bath towel or carpeted area for floor padding. Zoom info can be found here.
