Find out which technique is best for you to find more calm. Learn new ways to better manage or even avoid stress during the exam period.

Breathing techniques are an integral part of the traditional knowledge of yoga. Several recent studies have shown the impact of yogic breathing techniques on our ability to manage stress, enhance wellbeing and improve our ability to focus. During exam times, students usually report higher levels of stress, which adversely affects the ability to focus, understand and learn.
In this session we will learn 2 breathing techniques to help relax and refresh the mind while enhancing our ability to focus. We will also learn a short “desktop yoga” sequence that helps increase circulation and refresh the eyes and the mind, when faced with unavoidable long hours of work in front of a computer. There will be some time for Q and A at the end.

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is a scientifcally proven program for managing stress. Mindfulness relates to the calm and serene awareness of all that is occurring within and around us. MBSR helps you to fully focus on your own body and mind. The goal is to leave the often hectic everyday life behind and to fully concentrate on the present moment. Freeing yourself from inner judgments can help to overcome blockages, reduce stress and deal with fears or pain. MBSR combines meditative exercises while resting or moving with approaches from modern psychology and stress research.
