Mindful Moms

Mindful Moms is an evidence-based wellness group for moms. Neuroscience research has demonstrated the powerful benefits of mindfulness meditation, as well as its ability to reduce stress, improve mood and treat chronic conditions, including anxiety and depression.

At Mindful Moms, we come together to nurture our minds, bodies and hearts in a supportive community through the practice of mindfulness meditation, gentle yoga, authentic sharing and community building exercises. Each week we explore different themes relating to mindfulness and motherhood. Our emphasis is placed on practicing mindfulness as well as creating a deep sense of community, which is essential for us as mothers. We all share a vital need for meaningful social connection!

PLEASE NOTE: Mindful Moms is FREE for all post docs, students (grads and undergrads) and their partners / families! Please contact HIP at healthimprovement@stanford.edu for special registration instructions. Help us spread the word about this opportunity to learn mindfulness-based stress reduction tools and join a sweet circle of moms! Tell all your friends!

Instructor: Krassi Harwell, certified yoga instructor working in the Bay area since 2001, Thai massage therapist, Hakomi counselor, and DONA-certified doula since 2005. Krassi is also the mother of two children.
