The weekly class focuses on cultivating mindfulness with somatic exercise, yoga, and mindfulness practices to promote mental well-being and healing. We experience the world simultaneously with the mind and body, and this class addresses both for holistically healing and community spirit. This class is trauma-informed, body positive, for all levels (no yoga experience needed) and focused on practices you can use in your daily life to promote wellness. This class will include an hour-long yoga class and a 30-minute mindfulness activity that students can use in their daily lives.
