It is a practice everyone can benefit from especially runners as we can specifically use it to improve how we run and to prevent running injuries. 

What is mindfulness? Essentially, it is the practice of being totally present with what we are experiencing while maintaining a non-judgmental attitude.

With love and peace,

Jackie
