Join us for an inspiring and nourishing mindfulness practice designed for all skill levels. This practice is custom-tailored for productive scholars, teachers and support staff to:

• help reduce stress
• increase energy
• improve mental clarity

It is designed to be your perfect mid-day practice you can do without skipping a beat.

Each class is divided into two parts to suit your needs.

1. The first half will feature a seated 30-minute meditation practice.
2. The second half will feature a 30-minute all-levels chair yoga practice.

You can join both, or just attend one.

This practice is accessible for all skill levels. You will have an option to practice with a chair or you can practice on the floor depending on your space availability and fitness needs. There is no need for a yoga mat or yoga clothing, simply show up as you are.

Tune in, refresh and tune out to carry on for a more productive day with more energy and overall feelings of well-being. That’s it!
