Hiring someone to teach a 15-20 minute course on breathing and meditation in SF in April. I'm running a corporate event in San Francisco where during a break, I'd like someone to come in and teach the attendees about breathing/meditation/stress relief for a 15-20m session. Can you find me some people who might do this? One way to source this may be to call some local highly rated yoga studios and see if any of their instructors offer this service or would be willing to discuss it with me. thanks
