New This Fall: Breath, Rhythm & Music for Your Wellbeing
This Fall, join CFA professor Dr. Igor Iwanek and live musicians in learning the practice of Rhythmic Breath Control (RBC). Imagine your body is hardware and your mind is software. How do we keep this machine charged? RBC teaches you to create a power station for your body and mind using breath and musical rhythm. Studies have shown how we breathe relates to how healthy we are, and in this interactive session, we’ll learn powerful ancient techniques designed to promote emotional resilience and holistic wellbeing.
Learning Objectives:
- Improve cognitive performance and self-management in stressful situations with RBC.
- Learn to recreate the profound relaxation of deep sleep, on demand.
- Understand the power of breath to overcome overwhelming thoughts, stabilize the mind and energize the body.
Throughout the semester, one hour workshops will be offered most Tuesdays at 5 pm at the Howard Thurman Center for Common Ground.
Series begins on Tuesday, September 17.
Register for as many sessions as you wish: September 17, September 24, October 1, October 15, October 22, October 29, November 5, November 12, November 19, or December 3.
