Come rejuvenate with others who understand what you are experiencing at home and leave with a valuable set of calming tools for you and your family. This presentation will focus on the integration of stress management tools & relaxation techniques into the challenges of everyday life.  It will examine the body’s response to stressors and more importantly how to learn to illicit the relaxation response in order to cope with stress. 


The coping mechanisms of diaphragmatic breathing, restorative yoga, mindfulness meditation, and guided imagery will be discussed and demonstrated in this program.
