Worried this means the lotus position, joss sticks and ..erm.. tie dye?! Mindfulness is a technique than can reduce stress levels, help you have more restorative sleep, allow you to be more ‘present’. It can be a few guided breaths, or a longer sit or mindful walk.

MARNI WANDNER

As January continues to January hard, our theme this Wednesday on The BACK LOUNGE is ’NEW YEARS’ RESOLUTIONS’. On this the week of National Quitters Day – statistically the day most people give up their ‘this year I’m going to….’; we’re looking at why they often don’t work & how can you cultivate habits that stick beyond the end of this week. Joining us is health & performance coach Marni Wandner who has a background of 20 years in the music industry & a passion for living healthier & brighter. Everyone welcome, especially those who are serious about stepping up their game. Wednesday 10th January 6pm GMT / 7pm CET/ 1pm EST / 10am PST
