Join Susanne Werblow, founder of Kundalini Yoga GR, for an hour of conscious breathing practice at Gilda's Club Grand Rapids. Each week, Susanne Werblow will take you on a breathing journey by introducing you to a different breathing technique. Conscious breathing has been shown to reduce stress, increase alertness and boost your immune system. For centuries yogis have used breath control to promote concentration and improve vitality.

Studies found, for example, that breathing practices can help reduce symptoms associated with anxiety, insomnia, post-traumatic stress disorder, depression and attention deficit disorder.

Conscious Breathing with Kundalini Yoga Time 9:30 AM

Join Susanne Werblow, founder of Kundalini Yoga GR, for an hour of conscious breathing practice at Gilda's Club Grand Rapids. Each week, Susanne Werblow will take you on a breathing journey by introducing you to a different breathing technique. Conscious breathing has been shown to reduce stress, increase alertness and boost your immune system. For centuries yogis have used breath control to promote concentration and improve vitality. Science is just beginning to provide evidence that the benefits of this ancient practice are profound.
Studies found, for example, that breathing practices can help reduce symptoms associated with anxiety, insomnia, post-traumatic stress disorder, depression and attention deficit disorder.

This workshop meets in-person at Gilda's Club Grand Rapids and registration is encouraged. Please contact Gilda's Club at info@gildasclubgr.org or call 616.453.8300 with questions or to RSVP.
