Breath, Rhythm and Music for Your Wellbeing

This Fall, join CFA professor Dr. Igor Iwanek and live musicians in learning the practice of Rhythmic Breath Control (RBC). Imagine your body is hardware and your mind is software. How do we keep this machine charged? RBC teaches you to create a power station for your body and mind using breath and musical rhythm. Studies have shown how we breathe relates to how healthy we are, and in this interactive session, we'll learn powerful ancient techniques designed to promote emotional resilience and holistic wellbeing.

Throughout the semester, one hour workshops will be offered most Tuesdays at 5 pm at the Howard Thurman Center for Common Ground

For an idea of what to expect, check out Dr. Iwanek's recent appearance at TedXBU below!

2. Learn to recreate the profound relaxation of deep sleep, on demand.
