Group Sessions and Workshops

“For many years I’ve found it difficult to meditate, especially during times of high stress when I need it most. Coming off of a difficult layoff at the end of 2022, I was so grateful to join the Springboard community and be introduced to Naiyi’s incredible meditation practice. Naiyi creates a space that is inviting, supportive and calming– she allows me to genuinely drop into my body and just be. Her voice and process move you through each meditation with ease, tapping into your own unique needs. I leave each session feeling grounded, calm and better prepared to move through the rest of my day. Her practice is perfect for group mediations or a moment to reset on your own.  I highly recommend working with her!” ~~ Cianna Walker-Flom.

“Having participated in guided meditations on and off for several years, I have come to find that they are not always a one-size-fits-all thing, as each facilitator brings their own unique voice and approach to the experience. As a certified teacher, Naiyi Huang understands this reality and it shows in the effectiveness of both her live sessions with clients as well as within select content that she occasionally makes available online. Especially on the backside of a global pandemic where we all need to be reacquainted with our true selves, Naiyi has the expertise to help us all, individually and collectively, channel our thoughts and energy toward our greatest potential.” – Mitch D.

“As a People leaders, one of toughest challenges we face is supporting the wellbeing of our employees. From “unprecedented times” to “macroeconomic climate” it’s been a doozy. I’m honored to spotlight Naiyi Huang, CSM, CSCP. Naiyi is tech pro turned yoga and meditation teacher. Naiyi leads a weekly meditation with Springboard Community, and her sessions have truly been a gift. If you’re looking to bring mindfulness to your organization I cannot recommend working with Naiyi enough!” ~~ Maggie Mannion

“I highly recommend setting up a session with Naiyi Huang. She has chosen to focus her given talents, skills and abilities toward uplifting others on a weekly basis.  Naiyi has inspired others to continuously practice and discover new ways of care (and caring for themselves) through mindful exercises such as deep breathing, visualization, reflection, and self-compassion.   I have greatly appreciated her selflessness and service to others.” – Matthew Z.

“Thank you for helping us. From Nairobi (Kenya) we will always be grateful. We were able to embrace yoga and mindfulness as part of our self-care, and most of the clinical psychologists who were frontline responders in quarantine centers and online support benefitted greatly. The techniques came in handy, as some of us were able to use them in the isolation centers as part of therapy for the clients we were supporting. Once again, we are forever indebted to you.” ~~ Shillah M. Mwavua, Mental Health Specialist, Adolescents and Key Populations, Senior HIV Program Manager, Starehe /Mathare Sub countie

and More

“I really enjoyed learning different mindfulness techniques and breathing exercises. Naiyi was always reassuring and emphasized that building my own practice is personal and can look/ feel different than expected.” ~~ April

“The Starting Mindfulness Practice course inspired me to be even more disciplined in my meditation practice. The mindfulness techniques help get me into a meditative state faster and observe with the whole body. The lessons in this course have taught me to drop into myself in moments throughout the day and reset my perspective. Everyday situations, from the mundane to high-stress anxieties, now offer an opportunity to investigate them and discover their value.”~~ Yilmaz A.

“Your meditations are amazing – they help calm me down and help me to sleep” — Gaby L.

“After listening to Body Scan (Guided meditation on Spotify), it feels very relaxing! The speed and the tone of your voice and the music are well balanced.” “乃乙，我想回饋你，聽完你錄製的body scan真的很放鬆，速度、語調與音樂都搭配得很好” ~~ Poly

“The meditation and conversations have helped me in ample amount to deal with an ongoing crisis. Sometimes practicing in a group bring a lot of positivity and life force. You feel not so alone. I can’t express enough gratitude to you for giving me an opportunity to be part of this self-explanatory journey.” –PP
