In this workshop we will look at our response to stress and how it manifests itself in the body. Stress management techniques that we will practice include gentle stretching, breath awareness, progressive relaxation and meditation.

The stretches help us reduce muscular tension and bring awareness to habitual places we store our stress. The breath awareness can help self-empower us as we explore different exercises designed to calm and balance. Progressive relaxation is a systematic technique for achieving a deep state of relaxation. It is a powerful tool in decreasing anxiety and stress as well as in improving concentration. Meditation is another highly effective yet basic tool in the management of stress.

Tami Osiecki, MA will facilitate this workshop. She just graduated from wonderful Asheville Yoga Center and prior to that spent 6 years as a Yoga Therapist for Next Step Institute of Integrated Medicine. It is here that she learned much about the energetic connection between mind and body by developing and teaching various workshops including yoga for stress and individual yoga practices.
