Kathryn and Mindful Strength teacher Chris Bourke talk about his new class Mindful Energizer on the Membership, as well as some of the rationale behind it.   This is a really interesting conversation that offers new ways to consider practicing mindful awareness outside the usual contexts of quiet solitude and relaxation.   Chris shares how the class is a fun, energizing exploration that can help folks shift states of stress, boost confidence and increase their ability to experience rest + relaxation.

Christopher is a movement instructor, mental health professional, and Mindful Strength admin coordinator.  He has worked in the field of mental health and addictions for over a decade and roots his teaching in that experience – placing a strong emphasis on practices that respect, support, and encourage an individual’s innate resilience.

Christopher teaches with the hope of helping people rebuild a connection to their bodies, expand their range of (e)motion, and enhance their capacity to handle tough life events. He’s passionate about building spaces that promote a sense of courage, safety and, self-compassion.
