Mindful Meditation with Jami & Michelina – June
Date: June 15th

What is Meditation?
Meditation is finding mindfulness, stillness, joy, and peace. It offers an ability to look inward and connect to your divine, enlightenment, and universe.
Numerous studies have shown that meditation is an effective stress-management tool, ultimately reprogramming the brain to the extent that meditators end up with more capacity to manage stress. Not only is meditation a path to self awareness and compassion, but it is also a guide to better health.

Jami loves nature, community, animals and groups that facilitate growth! Meditation is a sweet & powerful piece to her heart and practice – she can’t wait to share this beautiful tool and piece of yoga with you!
Michelina is honored to facilitate alongside Jami. As she came from a background of intensity – these more subtle practices of yoga were a challenge. It was not easy – and sometimes still is not simple to be still, quiet, and drop into a meditative practice. Like many, her mind also tends to wander. However, she has grace with self and recognizes it as practice. She has also learned that meditation can come in many forms – it is not just sitting upright, still, with eyes closed.
As yoga has allowed Michelina to soften as a whole, she has found more softness and healing in settling into meditative states, places, and experiences. She has also acknowledged the power to go within and listen, which incorporates clearing out the mind chatter. Meditation and mindfulness of it, has been a beautiful tool for a deeper connection. She can’t wait to share components to help you tap into meditations with more knowledge and ease.
