Catch Your Breath with Charles Mindful Wellness 10/5

Piloted in 2021, "WELLderness: An Outdoor Wellness Series" was developed to bring members of the community together (in person and online) to engage in activities that would have a positive impact on their physical and mental health and well-being. Throughout the year, people have the opportunity to participate in FREE wellness events that are centered around fostering better connections to self and the environment.

**Masks are no longer required. They remain optional for those who wish to wear one during a Friends event**

What you will be doing

Charles will facilitate your exploration of awareness, align you with your values, and encourage you to take intentional action. Using the principles of yoga in practice, we want you to connect to your preconditioned self, and move from mechanical behavior patterns to a more realized way of living. Charles' life and work serve as an example of the transformational power these principles have if you choose to employ them. During this session, you will complete the following exercises: a 15-minute mind & body warmup, a 30-minute HIIT workout, a 30-minute restorative yoga session, and close out with a 15-minute guided meditation with breathwork.
