Course Overview

Buddhist Teachings to Guide You Back to Center

Ever feel like you need to step away from the world and hit the reset button? In this program of short practices for difficult times, yoga teacher and author Cyndi Lee offers you six short sessions (all are under ten minutes) designed to help you shift your mindset, get grounded, and cultivate a sense of humor about life. The practices can be done anywhere, at any time.

Throughout the sessions, Cyndi shares stories and teachings from the Buddhist tradition and from everyday life that have been valuable to her. She also offers you breathing and standing practices to help you quell anxiety, recharge your energy, cultivate patience, address nagging thoughts, and unhook from what’s bothering you. With a light, humorous tone, Cyndi provides opportunities for you to self-reflect as she tells funny anecdotes about trying to cope with everyday frustrations, such as searching endlessly for a parking spot and listening to noisy lawn mowers outside in the summertime.

The practices are: The Impermanence of Anxiousness, Take a Fresh Start, The Art of Being Patient, Change Your Mind and Relax With Things as They Are, What Are You Carrying?, and Finding Equanimity.

Enjoy these invitations to take refuge in a meaningful and lighthearted way!
