Yoga for Stress Reduction is an 80 minute program designed for brand new students to yoga as well as experienced yogis. It is broken down into manageable sections that address different aspects of stress and how to manage it.

Warm Up (17 min) stretches target tension in the hips, legs, lower back, neck and spine. The focus is on working with the breath and sensations in the body as the first step towards being able to release stress.

Standing Poses (25min) are designed to strengthen the legs and core, fostering groundedness and resilience in the body.

Free Movement (12 min) section starts with a chi gong standing meditation, a “self- tenderizing” sequence, and then spontaneous movement and dancing in order to shake off stress and rejuvenate the body.

Cool Down (15 min) sequence of seated forward bends and twists helps cultivate a sense of calm integration of the body and mind. It ends with a final relaxation on the back.

Meditation A (5 min) focuses on how to self-regulate and find peace through sensation awareness and breath.

Meditation B (5 min) targets a specific stressful experience and guides you on how to approach this scenario with resilience and ease.
