Stop Reacting and Start Responding

This program introduces the Body Scan as a form of practice where participants learn to purposefully move their attention around the body in a kind and nonjudgmental way. Many individuals are disconnected from their bodies, and that the body often can tell us before the mind when we are feeling stressed. The body is the storehouse of reactivity. This course introduces a few attitudes of mindfulness (e.g., non-judgment, beginner’s mind, and self-compassion) and Desk Yoga as another way to connect with the body.
