An in person 8-week therapeutic yoga group offered by the Employee Assistance Program
Changes, big or small, can be stressful to live through and can bring up feelings of overwhelm, anxiety, and grief, to name a few. The body can sometimes experience the stress of change through panic, digestive issues, sleep disturbance, or other somatic symptoms.
This therapeutic yoga group offers a space to turn towards the body to gently acknowledge and express the vulnerable and uncomfortable emotions spurred by various life changes.
Group sessions will entail deepening and strengthening mindfulness based practices for resiliency including a gentle hatha yoga practice appropriate for all levels and ability, meditation, breathwork, and exploration of emotions. Group members will learn to embody a compassionate approach to mental and physical well being, while finding support through connecting with others.
The group will be facilitated by Geeti Shirazi Mahajan, LCSW-S (she/her), one of the counselors at the Employee Assistance Program. Geeti is also certified as a Yoga Therapist (C-IAYT).
The drop-in group meets in person on Wednesdays from 11am-12:15pm from September 25th – Nov 13th and is limited to 10-15 participants. You can sign up for which weeks you would like to attend in UT Learn.
