Quiet your body, mind, and senses, and learn relaxation in this class (four 90-minute sessions). Create deeper levels of relaxation through gentle, nurturing physical poses you can accomplish without strain. Breathing exercises and meditation practices have been shown to reduce stress, lower blood pressure, relieve muscular pain and headaches, regulate heart rate, and even slow the aging process.
