We've designed this end of the year program to be for the whole community: it’s about slowing down and building your commitment to yourself, and focusing on adding small meaningful things that make your day to day life better. These classes will have (light) accessible movement (although you can also take them seated!) and some optional conversation. It's for everyone! 📖 What we'll cover: Each week, we have a new theme based on mindfulness and connection: Week 1: Slow Down and Notice This week, we'll help you slow down and appreciate the little things in life. It's about tuning into the good things around you, even in your everyday routine. Week 2: Slow Down with Gratitude Join us in exploring the power of gratitude.

You'll have one weekly live class, and an optional (short!) video to watch. Bonus: completely optional "homework". If you can't make it to all the live classes, that's okay too!
