Holiday Stress Management Classes

Why get wrapped up as tight as a holiday gift this year when you can learn to manage stress and have a more peaceful and joyful holiday season?  A Consumer Reports survey asked people what they dread most about the holidays. A whopping 90 percent noted there's at least one thing that they stress over during the year-end festivities.  If the thought of dealing with crowds, standing in long lines, finding the "perfect" gift, gaining weight, gaining debt, traveling, or dealing with difficult friends or family this holiday season is stressing you out, this class is for you!

Join Lisa Campbell Sunday mornings for a fun and relaxing mind-body experience full of useful stress management techniques that you'll want to practice through the holiday season and well into the new year!  Lisa will guide you through different experiences each week, including:    

  • Mindful breathing practices to help cultivate calm awareness and better focus   
  • Mindful eating practices to help keep holiday weight gain in check
  • Guided meditations for deep relaxation, centering, and focus
