Stress can be unhealthy for us, both mentally and physically, and it can build up if we're not careful. Studies show that mindfulness practice can be effective in dealing with stress by helping us to stay present, grounded, and relaxed. This workshop will teach you how to use mindfulness practice and yoga as a way of working with stress positively. We'll look at various aspects of mindfulness practice and how to make them part of daily life. - We'll look at what stress is, where it comes from, and different mechanisms for dealing with it including breathing, meditation, yoga, and other mindfulness practices. We'll also take a look at the autonomic nervous system and how both stress and mindfulness/meditation affect it. This workshop counts as 1.5 CEUS for yoga teachers.
