Toadhall, Muchalls, Stonehaven, Kincardineshire, Scotland
Mindfulness Meditation in Scotland with Yoga
Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed by your thoughts and emotions? Do you sometimes feel that you don’t know where or how to start dealing with what’s going on in your head? You can’t stop your thoughts and emotions but you can learn how to deal with them differently. Would you like to feel less stressed, improve relationships, slow down and rest, explore mindful meditation, feel calmer, become more creative and have a new perspective on how you deal with stress. A mindfulness retreat is an ideal opportunity to simply focus on reconnecting with yourself and become more present and aware. When you're more mindful you're more open to new ideas, increased creativity and an enhanced sense of purpose.
