About Breathe for a clear, calm mind
A 4-week series with Chris Coniaris How you breathe affects everything! Your mental state, stress level, heart rate, blood pressure, lymph drainage, intercellular communication, immune response, quality of sleep and more. Learn to use your breath to serve your purposes. We will focus on breathing exercises to prepare us for meditation. Then we use this calm, clear mental state to experience and enjoy deeper meditation. We will discuss how these techniques can be used throughout your day. All levels are welcome. About Chris Coniaris: Chris has been a yoga teacher for 25 years.
