Joyce is also a long time practitioner meditation. She came upon Jon Kabat-Zinn’s book, Full Catastrophe Living in 1993. She was inspired by the book that she went to the local credit union to borrow money for the training tuition and flew to California to study with Kabat-Zinn to learn his meditation teaching format. His emphasis is stress reduction through yoga, breath exercises, walking and sitting meditation. To date, Kabat-Zinn has taught 13,000 people to meditate, many of them medical and mental health practitioners. The medical world embraces this approach as a way to learn an inner life of peace and health.
Joyce has taught this style of meditation and yoga for over 12 years. For more information, call Joyce at 937-767-5671.
