What does mindfulness mean? \u201cMindfulness is how you choose to live your life every day,\u201d explains Bernice Parent.<\/p>\n
In order to get certified, the entrepreneur went through extensive training. \u201cI retired in 2014 and wanted to follow my passion. I decided to get a certification in yoga and mindfulness. I started my own business shortly after named La Vie Mindful.\u201d<\/p>\n
She is a certified yoga instructor since 2006 and in 2018, she obtained a certification in Yin Yoga. She also has her certification in mindfulness since 2017 after completing her mindfulness training.\u00a0Bernice Parent insists that for her \u201cit was important to get certified, particularly in mindfulness, because we interact with people\u2019s emotions.”<\/p>\n
The entrepreneur usually offers her classes in her studio, but this year meant she had to change her plans. \u201cWhen the COVID-19 pandemic hit, I had to cancel spring sessions. I was sad that I couldn’t teach anymore and during the summer I questioned everything.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAt that point, I had to reinvent myself. I wanted to find a way to continue to share the benefits of mindfulness and yoga, because it can really help people of all ages. ”<\/p>\n
