Course overview
Course description
This course is designed to teach relaxation practices that support mental well-being and enhance overall quality of life. You will be encouraged to identify areas of mental tension and consider activities that may contribute to these issues. Through mindful practices, you will learn to pay attention to your posture, body alignment, and how to create a sense of comfort and peace in your body and mind.
We will explore various relaxation techniques, including muscle contraction and release, gentle mindful movements, breath awareness, sound release, body scanning, and Yoga Nidra. These practices are aimed at reducing mental tension, improving body awareness, and promoting relaxation.

Throughout the course, you will have access to practice resources in Canvas to complement your weekly classes. These resources will support you in developing a regular relaxation practice. By the end of the course, you will feel confident in your ability to practice these techniques independently, allowing you to implement them into your daily life to support mental well-being and enhance your overall quality of life.
