In this emotional talk, Hayes distills the essence of psychological flexibility down into a few easy to understand sentences.
Deepak Chopra
Meditation
Meditate with Deepak Chopra, and check back here for new guided meditations taken from the Chopra App. Miracles only seem extraordinary because we’re not paying attention to their presence in our lives. When we open our awareness, connecting to the level of pure consciousness where love is infinite and eternal, we begin to notice the everyday acts of grace that guide us on the most evolutionary path.

In balance with Yin Yoga
I am starting with Yin yoga classes this year. Benefits of Yin Yoga include deep tissue flexibility, improved joint mobility, stress reduction, and enhanced mindfulness by targeting connective tissues (fascia, ligaments) with long, passive holds, activating the parasympathetic nervous system for deep rest, balancing energy flow (Chi), and calming the mind, leading to better circulation, emotional release, and overall well-being. Let me know if you are interested in my classes and I will send you information on how to join!
