You will be encouraged to identify areas of stress and imbalance in your life and consider activities that may contribute to these issues. Through mindful practices, you will learn to create a sense of equilibrium between your professional and personal life.

We will explore various relaxation techniques, including muscle contraction and release, gentle mindful movements, breath awareness, sound release, body scanning, and Yoga Nidra.
