Resisting or suppressing difficult emotions does not make them go away—instead, it can lead to increased stress, decreased focus, and the unmistakable feeling of overwhelm. Mindfulness, on the other hand, offers us the ability to recognize and understand our own moods and tendencies. In doing so, we recognize complex emotional states and challenging thoughts when they arise, which helps us to engage with them before they gather too much momentum. This specialized quality of awareness prepares one to move through the world feeling empowered to make wise choices in every situation.

As every office worker knows, sitting for long periods can result in stiffness and discomfort. The gentle stretches and postures taught in this program are designed to increase flexibility at the joints—thereby improving one’s range of motion – and also aid in relaxing the hips and lower portions of the body to increase one’s ability to sit with ease. Because this practice blends movement in the body with the breath, it is an ideal extension of mindfulness practice. No previous knowledge of yoga is necessary. This class does not require special clothing or equipment.
