The mind and body connection

This class covers basic meditation, breathing, stretching, and physical exercises to reduce stress and tension.

Your body responds to the way you think, feel, and act. This is the mind/body connection. Individuals with good emotional health are aware of their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. They have learned healthy ways to cope with the stress and problems that are a normal part of life. People who are always stressed, anxious, or upset may not have learned to handle some of life's stresses. This class will introduce safe, simple meditation techniques, deep-breathing methods, and basic standing and seated stretching exercises, as well as physical activities and flexibility exercises to help release stress and tension.
