These are for individuals or groups, adults or children. Duration is 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes. I coach for beginning the practice, track the progress closely and take written feedback. I am also teaching simple stretching postures with full focus on breathing, done on the bed and soon after leaving the bed. I place equal emphasis on ‘focusing on breathing’ for calming the mind and relaxing the body and awareness of the body sensations and movements, to release the stresses locked up in different parts of the body. I help most participants with simple self help techniques for handling stressful relationships and thoughts. As one progresses and internalizes the first step of the practice, I introduce the second step and so on, till one develops the non-reversible habits and doesn’t need any more guidance.

Follow up class held at East Greenbush Library. May 7, 2012: Two women attended. They attended my previous introductory seminar at the library. Both are health care professionals. One is a nurse practitioner who works with nurses with addictions who lost their licences. Another is a licensed clinical social worker who works at a hospital on the employee assistance program and also clinically. Both showed interest in introducing this technique in their work places.
