Mindfulness, by definition, is the act of paying attention to the present moment with non-judgmental awareness. Mindfulness is more than sitting quietly - how can you use the tools of mindfulness to enhance your performance? to become less self-critical? have a more creative practice? or to concentrate better when practicing? In this workshop, you will learn the benefits of mindfulness practice for well-being and performance quality, how you can integrate it into your day / your practice sessions, as well as have the opportunity to practice a short guided visualization that you can add to your toolbox.
