Course Syllabus Stop Stress From Beating Up Your Body

The objective of this class is to learn new relaxation methods and enhance skills

students may already possess for alleviating stress. At the very least I would hope they

can reduce their stress and see, hear, or feel the difference. (Wear loose fitted clothing

and tennis shoes to this class please).

What is being taught in this course is the discussion and awareness of how

stress is affecting us all. We will have some fun with short sets of mental and physical

movements based on ancient and modern techniques. This is a hands-on participation

class that teaches how to disintegrate stress with mind and body movement.
