Fitness and Wellness Classes
Mindful Meditation
2 – 2:30 P.M. • Tuesdays (March – April)
Zoom: laurelridge.edu/meditation
Mindful Meditation involves focusing on the present moment with non-judgmental awareness. It includes paying attention to your breath, sensations, or an object, while allowing distractions to come and go without judgment. This practice helps reduce stress, improve emotional regulation, and increase inner peace. Regular practice can enhance focus and provide a greater sense of calm and well-being.
Chair Yoga
12:40 P.M. – 1:10 PM • Thursdays (March – April)
Student Union Building Room 217
Chair Yoga is a great alternative for those who are unable to participate in a traditional yoga class due to less mobility or who spend most of their time in a chair at work. Practicing Chair Yoga includes performing asana (postures) sitting on a chair or standing using a chair for support. This class will help loosen and stretch muscles, build strength and balance, reduce stress and anxiety, and improve circulation. Both those who are new to Yoga and have regular Yoga practice are welcome. Please wear comfortable clothing.
