Polk County High School Bigs practiced mindfulness and meditation with yoga instructor Jenni Bradley on Tuesday. She encouraged them to offer themselves a little love, grace, and compassion – the same gifts people often extend to other living beings without offering them to themselves, Jenni said.
“I am thankful for her presence,” BBBSWNC Polk Rutherford Program Manager Jessica Toney said. Jessica said Jenni agreed to coach the Bigs because being young gives practitioners more time to become mindful and relaxed, plus the opportunity to coach the next generation, Jenni believes, according to Jessica.
