Yoga for mental wellness

No yoga experience or skill necessary. A typical class will involve gentle movement (asana), attention to breathing, attunement to the present moment, deep relaxation, mindfulness, nonjudgmental awareness of the mind, body and breath, and delight in movement. Experience and research suggest that yoga can be a powerful tool for mental wellness. This group is being held in Foust Hall in room 135.
