Relaxation Techniques

Are exams, homework, jobs or other obligations making you feel a little stressed out?  Join us for a Relaxation Techniques class.  We will cover breathing, stretching and simple meditation practices that can help calm your nerves and leave you feeling more focused and refreshed.  These straightforward methods can be incorporated into your daily life to reduce stress and improve overall wellness.  All you need is a yoga mat or towel, and we promise you will leave the class with a little less weight on your shoulders!  Contact fitness@mines.edu if you are interested in setting up a class for your group or department.
