Ten years of practice. Newly trained as a coach.
My name is James Schanz. I'm a newly trained Unified Mindfulness coach. This is the first class I'm teaching since completing my UM Pathways coaching training. Although my certification is new, I've had a personal mindfulness practice for more than a decade. I'm active in a local meditation group through InsightLA and have been to a silent retreat. Mindfulness is important to me because I started my journey as someone who was anxious and depressed, and I feel I have slowly discovered how to enjoy life.
I want to be a supportive influence whatever your personal mindfulness goals may be. I'm honored to be offering this class, and I see it as a way to deepen my own practice while getting to share the techniques that have been so influential in my own life. Anyone can learn mindfulness and find ways to take back their attention.
