LAKEPORT – Feeling frazzled? Current methods of dealing with stress not working? Want to make a change but don’t know how or where to start?
The Wellness Center at Sutter Lakeside Hospital and Center for Health is beginning a new session of the Stress Reduction and Relaxation Clinic on Tuesday, May 6.
In this eight-week workshop, participants learn new patterns of response to stress and how to move from being highly reactive to life events to learning how to respond with calm.
In this small-group environment, participants will receive support and learn from each other and the curriculum. Individuals will take a Health Risk Assessment and general wellness inventory to assess their current state of mental, emotional, and physical well-being.
Participants will learn methods such as diaphragmatic breathing, progressive relaxation, mindful meditation, gentle movement yoga and other strategies to cope with and overcome stress.
The program begins Tuesday, May from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. and meets twice a week for eight weeks. The instructor is Leslie Lovejoy, Ph.D.
There is a fee for this program and scholarships are available.
To register or for more information call the Wellness Center, 262-5171.
