The breath can be a powerful tool in helping us feel relaxed, balanced, motivated
and happy. This class will focus on simple but effective breathing and meditation
practices that students can implement in their everyday lives to help release tension

the mind, and increase our ability to feel like capable and resilient beings. No experience
is needed and there is no physical requirement for this class.
