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.

Questions? Email Chase@savannahbreathreset.com.

Start your Saturday morning with a gentle flow of poses to wake up and feel refreshed.

A yoga mat and a beverage will be provided.

Location: Champions Ballroom (The Club at Savannah Harbor)

The Summer Storytime Program invites children of all ages and their caregivers to participate in a three-part, multisensory read-aloud series at the Davenport House Museum. Families will be invited to the museum’s historic drawing room to enjoy a 30-minute read-aloud of a carefully selected illustrated children’s book that connects to a piece of shared history. Then, participants will head outside to the museum garden for an engaging, hands-on craft or educational activity inspired by the day’s story. Complimentary snacks and beverages will be served in the courtyard.

The first installment of the series will take place on Saturday, June 13 and feature the book “Brick by Brick” by Charles R. Smith. Thanks to local donors, every attending family will receive a free copy of the book to take home.
