Mindful Centering
Mayasays...
Setting an intention at the beginning of practice is like planting a seed that will grow throughout your session. This mindful centering helps you transition from the busyness of daily life into a more present, aware state. Your intention can be anything that feels meaningful - perhaps cultivating patience, finding strength, or simply being present.
