The Relaxation Response: A Foundational Unwind

Meditation Class Description: In our always-on world, it can feel like we are constantly operating in 'fight-or-flight' mode. This class teaches you how to consciously activate its opposite, a powerful, innate state of deep rest known as the Relaxation Response.

This is more than just simple relaxation, it's a specific and measurable physiological state that provides an antidote to accumulated stress. Pioneering work by Dr. Herbert Benson at Harvard Medical School uncovered the body's Relaxation Response, and learning to engage it is a foundational skill for anyone looking to build resilience and improve recovery.

By learning to elicit this state, you gain a practical tool to navigate pressure with greater ease. The science is robust, research confirms that engaging in this practice leads to a cascade of calming physiological changes, including a measurable decrease in heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen consumption.

This session is perfect for anyone feeling the effects…
