Mindfulness in the Workplace
“Mindfulness should no longer be considered a “nice-to-have” for executives. It’s a “must-have: a way to keep our brains healthy, to support self-regulation and effective decision-making capabilities, and to protect ourselves from toxic stress.”-Harvard Business Review READ MORE
Professional life is one of the main stressors for a lot of us. Time-sensitive projects, interpersonal relationships, meeting financial benchmarks, all while keeping your personal commitments in balance and finding time to relax can be challenging.

Mindful Movement
The mindful movement of yoga was initially very different from what we see today and was used to prepare the body for long seated meditations.
Asana, means “seat” according to the Bhagavad Gita which was written 5,000 years ago, and in the Sutras of Patanjali, one of yoga's eight limbs in Ashtanga Vinyasa refers to a steady and comfortable sitting posture for meditation.
It is for this reason that yoga is an ideal pairing to help still the mind in preparation for mindfulness meditation.
Mindful Movement on its own has tremendous benefits.
Creates mental clarity and calmness
Increases body awareness
Relieves chronic stress patterns
Relaxes the mind
Centers Attention
Sharpens Concentration

1-hour group session of 4-9 people*: $25 per Person
Mindfulness Movement & Meditation Retreats
Self-care is an imperative pillar in cultivating a consistent mindfulness practice.
With our daily lives filled with so much “busy” these distractions remove our focus from this moment. Emails, social media, meetings all separate us from the now and open the door to anxieties of the past and fears of the future.
Mindfulness retreats extend to you the space to slow down, disconnect with the day-to-day and connect with the present moment.
Our retreats will bring ease and offer:
Mindful Movement with Asana
Mindful Eating
Walking Meditations
Mindful Meditation
Mindfulness Teachings
APTB offers virtual retreats as a part of our programming.
In addition, with my 20 years in the hospitality industry, I can coordinate a tailor-made retreat for you and your group to myriad destinations & facilitate the retreat.
