Do you want to feel more emotional balance in your parenting?

Join us this summer for a four - class series focused on bringing mindful awareness into your life. In this class, we will explore how the practice of non-judgmental awareness, or mindfulness, impacts our presence in the world. Let us help you to establish some daily rhythms that calm your mind, inhabit your body, and experience deeper connection within interpersonal interactions. Each week, you will set realistic and attainable goals for your daily mindfulness practice, obtain guidance from the instructors about obstacles you may encounter, and build support and community through conversations and exercises with the other participants. The co-facilitators, Lucianne Hackbert, PhD and Senior Yoga Teacher Jenny Hayo, each bring a unique perspective to the course. Jenny has a grounded and joyful presence as a teacher at 8 Limbs Yoga Studios. When Jenny teaches meditation, the teachings of mindfulness become accessible and applicable to our modern day responsibilities. Lucianne Hackbert is the director of Camp Self-Discovery (CSD), a day camp for children age 3-8 focused on building emotional awareness in children. Luci and Jenny believe that the practice of mindfulness is an incredible tool for embodying joy and courage on the spiritual path of parenting.

Date and Time: Wednesday evenings- June 30, July 7 and July 21 & 28 from 6:30-8 pm

Location: We will meet outdoors in the backyard of Luci's home. 5411 Ravenna Ave NE.

What to bring:
Props - Please wear comfortable clothes for gentle movement, seated practice, and lying down. Please bring whatever props you need to be comfortable. Jenny can best assist you in establishing safe and comfortable positions for your home practice if you bring the props you use at home. We can provide mats to sit on and some additional props (chairs and pillows).

Journal - Please also bring a journal to write in. We will provide handouts and materials that you will be using to take notes. You can add these pages to your journal so it functions as a workbook.

Cost: suggested donation is $100 for the series of four classes. If you sign up with a friend, you can each receive a $15 discount (or $170 for two participants). If you know that you are unable to attend some of the classes, you can pay $30 for each individually. We strongly prefer that you attend the first class when we will discuss the foundations of mindfulness and establish the format for the series.
