Relaxation Techniques: Meditation, Mindfulness, and Deep Breathing

This series of guided relaxation methods will focus on the mind-body-heart connection for optimal wellness. We will introduce various methods of deep breathing, present moment awareness, techniques of mindfulness, and meditation practices. This class will serve as both an introduction to those new to these techniques, as well as an opportunity to deepen awareness for practitioners. A typical session will consist of deep breathing, self-reflection in stillness, and a technique of guided meditation.

The class is led by Jyoti Mayadev, MD. Dr. Mayadev is an associate professor of radiation oncology at UCSD Health's Moores Cancer Center, with a research and clinical focus on gynecology oncology. Dr. Mayadev is certified in transcendental meditation technique, and over the past few decades, she has trained in and taught various forms of breathing, yoga movement, meditation, and mindfulness to enhance health and wellness.

Registration is required. You will receive information to join the class via Zoom following completion of your online registration.
