Happy Heart

WEDNESDAY 10AM - 11AM AT MILLERS YARD, YORK

Welcome to Happy Heart, a class designed with care and compassion for those looking to support their heart health through the transformative power of meditation. Whether you’re managing a heart condition such as coronary heart disease, navigating recovery, or simply seeking to nurture your cardiovascular well-being, this class is a gentle yet powerful practice to reconnect with your heart and cultivate a healthier, happier life.

Scientific studies consistently show that meditation and mindfulness can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and improve overall heart health. At Happy Heart, we blend meditation, breathwork, and heart-centered practices to create a supportive environment that fosters healing, relaxation, and connection.

As someone who has also experienced a heart attack, I’ve found these practices deeply supportive in my own recovery. Happy Heart was created to share that same sense of calm and reconnection with others navigating their own heart health journey.

  • The Happy Heart class incorporates mindfulness, breathwork, and guided meditation to nurture your cardiovascular health:

    1. Guided Meditation: Each session features calming meditations designed to reduce stress—a major factor in heart health—and create a sense of deep relaxation.

    2. Heart-Centered Healing: You’ll learn specific meditation techniques focused on promoting heart function and overall cardiovascular wellness.

    3. Breathwork for Vitality: Mindful breathing practices enhance oxygen flow, reduce anxiety, and support your heart’s natural rhythm.
