Most people who ‘can’t meditate’ aren’t bad at it. They just learned a method that only works in perfect conditions — quiet room, no thoughts, relaxed schedule, patient teacher.
Real life doesn’t look like that.

This class teaches the physiological layer underneath meditation that most instruction skips entirely: how your breath pattern directly controls your nervous system state, and how to use that mechanism to reach deep states of calm — deliberately, reliably, in any environment.

You don’t need belief. You don’t need silence. You don’t need 20 years of practice. You need the right tool, applied with the right timing, in the right sequence.
We’ll cover:
• How the mechanics behind meditation works — the physiology
• The simple progression for reaching deeper states reliably
• How to use it in 10 minutes at your desk, in your car, or at 2 AM when you can’t sleep

Saturdays at 8:30 AM | Forsyth Park, Savannah GA | $15 drop-in
We meet by the tennis courts, under the big old oak tree
Taught by Chase Barber, Oxygen Advantage certified breath coach

This class is right for you if you’ve tried meditation apps and quit, found guided meditation too dependent on mood or environment, want to understand the ‘why’ behind what you’re doing, or just want a Saturday morning practice that actually moves the needle.

Discover the fascinating world of crabs along the Georgia coast during this family-friendly crabbing event at the UGA Aquarium! Did you know the scientific name for the blue crab, Callinectes sapidus, means “savory beautiful swimmer”? Or that a horseshoe crab isn’t actually a true crab?

The Saturday program begins indoors, where you’ll learn fun facts about blue crabs, explore our touch tanks, and observe the incredible diversity of coastal crabs up close.

Registration is required and includes admission to the UGA Aquarium. Children ages 5 and up are welcome but must be accompanied by a registered adult.
