Mindfulness matters

The Day of Wellness for Educators event in Queens on Sept. 14 was a great experience. We were able to practice yoga, pickleball and aqua Zumba, to name a few of the activities. Goldie Hawn was informative about her organization, MindUP. The workshops were engaging and applicable for all ages. The emphasis on breathing correctly and being mindful was integrated in the sessions. MindUP matters to help achieve a balanced lifestyle. The focus on self-care is essential for staying well. The need to take a brain break is key for all of us.

I really enjoyed the day and look forward to attending future sessions.
