Mindful Parenting:
Even for the most experienced yoga & mediation practitioner, it is all too easy for parents to react unconsciously in moments of
stress and overwhelm. Mindful parenting is a practice, and requires support and guidance. Jackie Long is passionate about supporting
people on the path of parenthood, and she believes the world will be a more compassionate place as more people commit to the path of
parenting more consciously. Therefore, Jackie is facilitating a mindfulness-based parenting support group once a month at Blossom
Birth on Sunday nights from 6 to 6:30pm. This group is free and open to the community! Please come to Blossom Birth to take advantage
of this wonderful opportunity! To find out about Jackie's Mindful Parenting Workshop Series at the Palo Alto Family YMCA, please
