Mindfulness & Meditation

How yoga shows up in real life.
Good Shift happens!

Meditation and mindfulness provide tools to cultivate presence, clarity and calm in everyday life.

Mindfulness and meditation are closely related, but they’re not exactly the same.

Mindfulness is a way of being.
It’s the practice of paying attention to the present moment—thoughts, sensations, emotions, and surroundings—with awareness and without judgment. You can be mindful while walking, working, eating or having a conversation.

Meditation is a more formal practice.
It’s a structured activity where you intentionally set aside time to train attention and awareness. Sometimes by focusing on the breath, sensations or a specific object.

  • Mindfulness = how you relate to the moment, anytime

  • Meditation = a dedicated practice session

  • Meditation builds mindfulness, but mindfulness doesn’t require meditation

Both Practices have many benefits

Regular practice fosters a deeper sense of balance, calm, and well-being—helping you navigate daily life with presence and clarity.
