REDUCE STRESS
AND INCREASE YOUR JOY IN LIFE
Hi,
I am a teacher and volunteer with the Art of Living Foundation. Fifteen years ago, when I went through a rough patch in life, I signed up for one of their workshops. A fried told me: "you seem stressed, this breathing class will help you". It was then that I went from thinking that meditation was not for me to experiencing its power to calm the mind, and help us both on our day-day activities and also when we go through tough times.
When stress is high, we can't enjoy life, family, friends. Sometimes, stress sneaks in and we do not realize until we snap! There is work stress, family stress, the economy, the neighbors, you name it...
Hamptons Meditate is a project bringing the Art of Living techniquess to the east end of Long Island. I teach online, in the Hamptons, and in New York City. The Art of Living Foundation was founded 45 years ago, is present in 182 countries, and is considered the largest volunteer run organization in the world, according to the United Nations. The foundation's work and its founder have been featured in multiple publications, such as Newsweek, Forbes, Times, CNN, Yoga Journal, etc.
Breath is now becoming a popular modality for helping people achieve new levels of performance and life satisfaction - learn from the source. The Art of Living is a pioneer in this area, teaching harnessing the power of breath for 45 years in 182 countries.
See you soon!
