Location Information: Melucci Theater - Jean Student Center

Join Sarah Guglielmi for a discussion on yoga as a way of life through yoga practice, yoga lifestyle, and the cultivation of a yoga mindset. Yoga offers an approach to not only live in a chaotic world but thrive in it.

Millions of Americans practice yoga. They understand yoga to be an ancient practice that combines postures and breath awareness to relieve stress, reduce aches and pains, and transform their mood. Yoga is that, and much more. Yoga postures, called asanas, are one part of an 8-limbed spiritual discipline that is ultimately designed to help you reach your fullest potential. Yoga offers a path to connect with your intuitive self and gradually transform your limitations, including the overwhelming fear and uncertainty that is pervasive at this time.  

This is part of the Ethics and Spiritualty series. Free and open to the public with advance registration. Refreshments will be provided.
