Practicing mindfulness by paying attention to your present experience helps to:

- Reduce stress
- Increase resilience and emotional flexibility
- Develop compassion
- Improve focus and calmness

Our down-to-earth approach shows you ways to adapt this practice – drawn from ancient traditions – to your own life. Age-appropriate instruction and small classes introduce children and adults to the practice of mindfulness and the role that awareness can play in well-being.

Our mindful awareness staff includes Marvin G. Belzer, Ph.D., Associate Director of the UCLA Mindful Awareness Research Center (MARC), and Diana Winston, Director of Mindfulness Education at MARC.
