"Providing focus and reducing stress throughout the rest of my day"
In a world of constant interruptions, I have found that my morning 20-minute breathing practice, learned in the SKY Schools Educators Course, to be a treasured moment of peace, providing focus and reducing stress throughout the rest of my day.
