And, we all could use some inspired guidance to help us find our own path to inner strength and resilience. We will explore stress, health, and the healing benefits of truly attending to your body, mind, and spirit. We will delve into the healthful advantages of breath, mindfulness, self-regulation, self-compassion, and movement.
