Part of the Psychology Curriculum is a unit called Stress, Lifestyle and Health. During these lectures, Yoga and Meditation is discussed as a way to relieve stress. Because of your generous funding, we were able to have Lisa Tuveson of Sacred Pause Yoga come in to discuss the benefits of Yoga and Meditation to the Psychology classes and teach some of the Yoga poses that students could use everyday. This was a fantastic supplement to our classroom lectures.
