Classical Yoga is a particularly effective and efficient system to not only stretch, tone and develop the muscles but stimulate robust health in all systems of the body.  Regular practice can relieve stress and anxiety and promote mental concentration.

Take a break from your busy day with this gentle restorative class to calm your mind, increase strength, flexibility, vitality, and awareness. Release tension in the muscles and joints caused by sitting, reading, or working at a desk. All levels are welcome. 

Today's life is fast-paced and leaves little time to relax and decompress. Greater pressure is being put on all of us to do more. The result is that many of us have lost the ability to sit still and simply be with ourselves. This session will explore personal stress triggers and review some practical, easy techniques to make brief relaxation moments a natural part of everyday life. Facilitator: Homewood Health

Gendered Bias in the Workplace This session will offer research-based information on performance and attribution bias and discuss practical ways to work toward systemic changes. Performance bias is based on deep-rooted—and incorrect—assumptions about women’s and men’s abilities, including a tendency to underestimate women’s performance and overestimate men’s performance. Attribution bias views women as less competent than men, meaning that women often receive less credit for accomplishments and more blame for mistakes. (definitions from leanin.org).
