Focus

Optimize your brain, enhance productivity

Is this course right for you?

Does your mind feel out of your own control? Do you feel overwhelmed and like it takes a huge effort to be productive?

This course may be for you if you struggle with…

• A scattered mind 

• Managing distractions

• Decision-making & prioritising tasks

• Time-management

• Meeting work obligations

• Feeling over-stimulated

• Underperformance (you feel you’re not living up to your own potential)

If you’re nodding you’re head  right now, know that you’re not alone and that there’s hope! There are yoga-based tools that can optimise brain function and help you rein in your mind and experience enhanced focus.    

What you’ll get

FOCUS gives you practical tools to rein in your mind. By the end of the course, you’ll have…

1. Proven strategies to manage stress

Stress can drive you to distraction. Overwhelm is a productivity killer. You’ll have an understanding of the biology of stress as well as access to quick and easy practices to help you relax and boost mental stamina. 

2. Enhanced self-awareness

When you can turn your attention inwards, you can be more aware of the needs of your body and mind. Addressing issues - even those as basic as hunger, thirst, and sleep - help you stop distractions before they start.

3. Keys to balance

There are natural rhythms to life. When you get overwhelmed, it’s easy to get off track. When things are busiest, that’s when self-care takes highest priority. You’ll have techniques to keep your system in balance in sync with your natural rhythms. 

4. Reconnection with your true self

In a world where it’s easy to feel pressured to live up to other people’s expectations (bosses, family, partners and collaborators), you can lose sight of your own values and personal drivers. Through introspective yogic practices, you can reconnect with what’s important to you. When you’re self-aligned, it’s easier to be productive.

5. A focused mind

When you minimise the impact of stress, balance your body and mind, and apply specific techniques to train your mind, focusing becomes much easier.

Kundalini Yoga includes a variety of meditations specifically designed to enhance focus. You’ll have instructions on how and when to do them.

6. A game plan for moving forward

There is no magic bullet that will make you instantly more focused. Lasting results come from a consistent daily practice. By the time you complete the course, you’ll have finished a 40-day meditation practice and have the resources to keep going on your own. 

Count me in! I want to be first in line when doors for this course opens.
