TOM MULLEN

Tom has been practicing yoga and mindfulness for more than 15 years. He has found a true positive energy through practicing yoga at Revolution Power Yoga. He loves the grounding discovered in the RPY practice of asanas and breath. The teachers and community at RPY are always supportive, fun, and caring. He considers his yoga practice an extension of his mindfulness practice. 

He has found that regularly practicing mindfulness and yoga helps alleviate symptoms associated with anxiety, depression, and feelings of being overwhelmed. Mindfulness and yoga have provided him skills that make it less likely to be hooked and reactive toward negative thoughts and emotions. In addition, and one of the most amazing aspects of his practice, is the awe he has found in noticing the joys of life. Joys that were there all the time but were just being missed or passed over. These practices have provided a path to living a more wholesome life where the body, mind and heart are integrated. Because of these positive experiences, he developed a deep desire to share meditation practices with others. 

After meeting pre-requisites, he attended the Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Teacher Training Intensive at the UC San Diego Center for Integrative Health. In 2020 he became a Qualified MBSR instructor. He has led meditation in a group setting, attended multiple silent retreats, and has been a participant/student of MBSR and other mindfulness-based programs.

He believes there is an inner wisdom in all of us that is always present and available.  Everyone has the capacity, the depth, and ability to access this wisdom and know their own basic goodness. Tom’s offerings help others use mindfulness and yoga to discover their wholeness and embrace the full experience of “being” human. 

Tom has been a resident of the Vail area for 34 years. In 2020 he retired from a successful career in retail. He resides in Eagle-Vail with his wife Laurie and their dog Abby.  He enjoys biking, skiing, yoga, being in nature, camping, reading, and spending time with family and friends.
