MINDFULNESS AND YOGA RETREAT IN GOZO

Mindfulness Malta is together with Michelle Bartolo (yoga teacher) arranging a one-week mindfulness and yoga retreat in Gozo from the 24th June to 1st July.

"Our minds are often busy analyzing, judging, planning and problem solving. We call this the 'autopilot mode' of being. When you practice yoga and mindfulness you learn to register when you are on autopilot and how to switch it off. You let go of thoughts and emotions and instead tune your attention in on the present moment," says Anne Hamarsnes, a clinical psychologist who also runs weekly classes held in Gzira.

Apart from the physical gains, the practice can help you prevent stress, anxiety and depressions. It also teaches you how to deal with physical pain and other illnesses more effectively.
