Mindful Moments with Manu are a series of relaxing videos where we take some time to unplug from all the craziness and just get quiet and thoughtful for a while. There’s so much busyness in our lives which can leave us feeling unbalanced, and I’d like to offer you these moments of relaxation and unwinding.
