Mindfulness means being awake. It means knowing what you are doing. - Jon Kabat-Zinn

Mindfulness is the basic human ability to be fully present, aware of where we are and what we’re doing, and not overly reactive or become overwhelmed by what’s going on around us.

While mindfulness is something we can all naturally possess, it’s more readily available to us when we practice on a daily basis.

Whenever you bring awareness to what you’re directly experiencing using your senses, or to your state of mind through your thoughts and emotions, you’re being mindful.

Mindfulness meditation is a mental training practice that teaches you to slow down racing thoughts, or the 'monkey mind', and to learn to let go of negativity; calming both your mind and body. It combines meditation with the practice of mindfulness, which can be defined as a mental state that involves being fully focused on "the now" so you can acknowledge and accept your thoughts, feelings, and sensations without judgment, attachment and allowing the thoughts to 'take over'.

This course is designed for all levels including beginners, intermediate and advanced practitioners. Akirayoga walks you step-by-step through each of the poses. All the techniques will allow you to settle into the practice without having to watch the screen. You can practice at your own pace in the comfort of your home and can come back to the practice as often as desired.

Claire was absolutely amazing. Her knowledge is incredible. I learned so much from the classes. I am more confident in teaching yin yoga and meditation now. The class set up was fantastic. Highly recommend Claire. -- Ellysse Mellington ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I had the most amazing time learning from Claire in the yin yoga teacher training. She has a great knowledge of yoga in general and meditation. She has a great way to provide her knowledge and to bring the theory into practice. I even learned a lot of things to integrate into my yang hours and personal practice. Out of the many ttc I have already done, I probably enjoyed this one the most. I would def come back to Claire if I want to deepen my knowledge and teachings.-- Diana Pieper ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
