“I went into this program not knowing what to expect, but I enjoyed it and benefitted from the mindfulness training a lot. The biggest benefit was the stress. I don’t have as much stress as I used to, thanks to the breathing exercises. The breathing exercises helped me through many different situations such as mammograms at doctor visits. I also lost weight, listen to more audiobooks, and watch less TV. I’ve noticed my focus has turned towards myself – I take care of me instead of others, which is very beneficial”
