The Power of Mindful Breaks in a Hectic Workday Unlike the usual coffee break or a quick scroll through social media, mindful breaks are intentional pauses—times when we engage in activities that ground us in the present and rejuvenate our minds.

Why Mindful Over Regular Breaks? Regular breaks, while necessary, often don’t provide the mental reset we need. In contrast, mindful breaks, with their emphasis on intention and a ..read more

This pattern was crystal clear at my yoga studio. Each January, we'd see a surge of enthusia ..read more
