Flow State

About This Class

Flow State is an 18-minute seated meditation and breathwork practice that strips everything back to the fundamentals: spine tall, shoulders relaxed, attention on the natural rhythm of the breath. Brian Gallo opens by explaining how simply deciding to practice is enough to begin settling the nervous system, then draws a compelling parallel between the athletic "flow state" or being "in the zone" and the moment-to-moment work of meditation. Rather than chasing bliss, the practice centers on the skill of recovery — noticing when a thought, sensation, frustration, or distraction pulls attention away, labeling it, and returning to the breath again and again. The final five minutes are held in silent independent practice. Ideal for anyone looking to build mindfulness, manage stress or anxiety, sharpen focus, or find a grounding reset at any point in the day.
