DESCRIPTION

Are you stressed out? Is stress causing you to lose sleep, feel anxious, or even causing physical pain? You can use your breath and simple but effective visualizations to help relax into the moment, release tension in the body, and aid you in feeling less stressed.

In this experiential class, you will learn and practice a few different tools you can add to your own relaxation toolbox, including breathwork, guided imagery, systematic physical relaxation, movement, and essential oils. While this class will utilize some techniques often taught as part of meditation classes, this session will not have any attachment to religious or spiritual teachings or beliefs, and is welcoming to all.

This will be about simple and accessible relaxation techniques. This class is also not a medical or psychological intervention, nor is the instructor offering it as such.

To attend, students must bring at least one of the following to class, as payment to your teacher:
