Discover how a regular meditation practice can support wellness. In the Tibetan tradition, well-being is holistic – encompassing body, energy, and mind. In this workshop, participants will learn meditative techniques using the healing power of the breath-energy to support a healthy body and mind. Mind-body research has also shown the importance of regular practice; sharing some of that research, Dr. Chaoul will share tips to help participants include mind-body practices in their lifestyle.
