This class covers how to quiet the mind and reset through breathwork and meditation. Participants learn about the neurobiology of our brain and the impact on our emotions. We will learn breathing techniques to help quiet the mind and allow the body to enter a state of rest and digest. We will also learn and practice meditation/mindfulness techniques. These techniques can be used on a daily basis to help calm our body and reduce anxiety and nervousness.
