It s important to offer people opportunities to practice meditation because once you introduce them to it, it s more likely they ll try it again on their own, says Christina Sava, a member of the Young Lawyers Division Wellness Committee.
Christina Sava will be leading mindfulness sessions during the ABA Midyear Meeting.
“The purpose for me is often to introduce people to what a basic mindfulness practice is, mindfulness meditation practice, and dispel some myths about what it’s not or how you have to do it perfectly,” says Sava, an associate in the Los Angeles office of Vicente Sederberg. She learned about mindfulness while studying at the University of Miami School of Law.
