How To Navigate Your Breath In Stressful Times
With Carolyn Anne BudgellDo you have days where you can hardly take a deep breath and your whole body feels tense? This 10-day course will help you better understand daily feelings of overwhelm and the proven ways to cope. We explore breathing in a conscious and regulated way, as well as methods for focusing the mind on breath rather than agonizing over the past or striving to control the future. Give your nervous system a breath of fresh air and send your body and brain more intelligent messages. In this course, each day’s lesson (on some aspect of science or Buddhist philosophy) is paired with a meditation and a breathing practice to quell the anxious mind and become completely present. Switching off the overdrive is sometimes the most productive thing we can do for our personal health, our relationships and work life. It all begins right now, with your breath.
Learn how you can use your breath to switch off your anxious mind and overcome states of overwhelm and stress.

Meet your Teacher
Carolyn Anne Budgell stumbled upon a silent retreat in 2009 and hasn't looked back since, aside from the frequent moments she looks back to resolve the old stories and the anxiety within. Carolyn is an ERYT, BA and mama, and resides in Vancouver, British Columbia, whilst teaching yoga and mindfulness classes, workshops, and trainings locally and around the world. She has been leading meditation since 2011 in all types of settings: one-on-one, intimate groups and in corporate settings. She has studied with teachers from the Buddhist Vipassana Movement and Zen, notably Tara Brach, Adyashanti and Reggie Ray. You can find audio meditations with Carolyn on Insight Timer, Mala Collective, MOMENT and Tuja Wellness' websites. Carolyn guides her workshops and retreats in a simple and accessible language. Carolyn firmly believes that meditation is not just about being still and silent, but also requires a willingness to: look within honestly, connect to self and others and transform the patterns that prevent us from growing. In this way, every aspect of life becomes a meditation. "Your life is the practice." Start within and everything will shift... life is the practice.
