Leila Tobin
Leila is passionate about mindfulness and mindful movement. She is certified with the Yoga Alliance as a 200-hour Interdisciplinary Yoga Teacher (through Evolve Yoga and Wellness, affiliated with the Nosara Institute in Costa Rica). Yoga and mindfulness practices were instrumental in her journey towards regaining balance after experiencing years of chronic stress and burnout. Leila is a firm believer in the mind-body connection and the power of somatic approaches in stress release. Leila is also a Certified Workplace Mindfulness Facilitator and holds certificates in MBSR (Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction) through Mindful Leader, as well as a Wellness Counseling certificate from e-Cornell. Her classes incorporate mindfulness, meditation, and breathwork, along with gentle mindful movement - all meant to still the fluctuations of the mind and restore balance and harmony in the body. Leila is an internal mindfulness and movement champion within her organization and has experienced first hand how mindfulness helped her promote self-regulation, decrease reactivity, and develop a strong sense of equanimity and peace.
Description
Mindfulness Meditation
In this relaxing slow-paced practice, we engage in mindfulness-based stress reduction meditation (MBSR) and somatic mindful movement based in gentle yoga. We take time to intentionally experience connecting with the breath and body, training our awareness in more deliberately embracing the present moment. By purposefully slowing down, we train our minds, reset our bodies and rewire the nervous system, activating the relaxation response. We begin to connect to an inherent capacity to heal, learning to recognize the body’s subtle intelligence, stepping out of autopilot and into a more conscious, calm and balanced state. We honor the body and its different abilities, soothing the nervous system, and assist in stress management, self-regulation and homeostasis. All levels welcome.
