This is a rigorous program requiring you to give your best to yourself.  As you make your decision to take this program, it is important to acknowledge that you are making a commitment to take responsibility for your overall health and well-being.  And to recognize that becoming comfortable with a new way of life will take time and practice.   Fortunately mindfulness is not something that you have to "get" or acquire.  It is a natural human-capacity, a power resource you can become familiar with and harness for coping, growth, and moving towards greater levels of health and well-being.

Participating in the MBSR Program requires a commitment to yourself and to Mindful Living Studio/MindBody Health.  You will be asked to attend all 8 sessions, the silent retreat  and practice home assignments 45 minutes per day six days a week for the duration of the program.

EXECUTIVE COACHING:  Awaken the Executive Center of yourBrain to reclaim balance and embrace your best life Now!   Note:  This is not about your job title, it is about developing an integrated circuitry for a quality life!

With regular practice this 8 session program will support development of the executive functioning of the brain and integrated nervous system.  This is the essential foundation for health in all areas of life: mental and physical health, work performance, creativity, relationships, sleep and .... !    

Executive Coaching is a mindfulness program rooted in ancient wisdom and current research in neurobiology and yogic science.  Within eight weeks you can "rewire" the circuitry of  the organ of the brain by learning to use the Mind to develop the integrated nervous system know as the Brain.  The Mind is the regulator of the flow of energy and information.  This evolutionary development stems from the stimulation of the executive function located in the newer area of the brain called the pre-frontal cortex.  It's a proven program for learning optimal balance in all areas of life.   Read more

An awakened, compassionate world.  Each individual human embodying resilience in mind, body, and spirit.  All living in balance with each other and the Earth.

Mindful Living Studio and MindBody Health, holistic education organizations, offers Mindful Living Programs that honor individual needs, cultivate wellness of mind, body and spirit, develop resilience, and support conscious awakening.  Drawing from medical research as well as wisdom teachings of many spiritual traditions, emphasis is on awakening consciousness to live a happy, healthy and productive life.  Just as the body knows how to heal a wound when right conditions prevail, we awaken to our core Identity as the mind and body let go of resistance to the True Nature.  

MindBody Health was founded in 1995.  Offerings include:

• Classes and Retreats
• Individual Sessions
• Speaking Engagements & Organizational Consulting

In 2010 the studio name changed to Mindful Living Studio.  Formerly known as The Yoga Shala Columbia and established in 2003, it continues to offer programming in the spirit of the learning foundation set by Yoga Shala Columbia.  Shala, a Sanskrit word meaning "school", embraces life as a school of continuous  learning.  The Mindful Living Studio is a private residential studio set among the sounds and sights of nature.   

MindBody Health and Mindful Living Studio are directed by Diane Barnes, M.Ed., eRYT500. Diane's professional training and education since founding MindBody Health has focused on methods and practices that empower the individual to develop resilience, reclaim balance of the bodymind, cultivate sustainable living practices and realize spiritual awakening.  Study with indigenous medicine teachers whose lives are their credentials are not included in her bio yet they have prepared Diane as much or more than other training and education.

"What yearns to be big in us,
 to be vast beyond reckoning,
 is the adventure of self-discovery.
 The larger that grows,
 the more lightly human society
 will rest upon the earth."
