***This is a two-part class! The second session will be January 20th and will serve as a wellness check-in/ a refresher of the November 18th class***

As days grow shorter and colder, many people begin to notice signs of the“winter blues.” This may include low mood, decreased energy, irritability, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, cravings for carbohydrates and weight gain, or withdrawal from social activities. Some people develop a more serious condition known as Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), which requires medical treatment.

Mindfulness practice can improve awareness of the present-moment experience (including thoughts, emotions, bodily sensations, and environmental factors). Mindfulness-based stress reduction techniques can improve coping, help manage stress, and promote greater self-kindness and self-compassion.

What you will learn:
Mindfulness-based stress management techniques
Skills to offset stressful psychological patterns like rumination, distraction, and avoidance
Ways to infuse self-compassion habits into daily routines
