Description: This workshop is a mindful approach to well-being and managing stress through gentle movements, breathing techniques, and an introduction to Sudarshan Kriya^TM (SKY) meditation. To begin, participants will be led through a sequence of gentle movements to prepare the body to sit in meditation and promote relaxation. No change of clothes or yoga mat are necessary. After that, participants will be guided through evidence-based breathing techniques for deeper relaxation. After these initial relaxation techniques, the course leader will guide participants through a 20-minute meditation, with time for reflection afterwards.
