Take a break and please join us for a fresh, fall breeze Classical Yoga class on U of G's beautiful Johnston Green, on Tuesday, September 19 at 12 P.M. As we harvest the fruits of summer, the natural world begins to fall away in preparation for renewal. At this moment, we invite you to turn toward the light (inner sun) within us as the physical light outside starts waning.

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. Register now!
