v) Give yourself time to rest and recharge

Prerequisites

No previous experience required.

As this course includes noticing sensations of the breath and the body, it may be better to wait if you are experiencing traumatic or highly stressful life events or if you are currently experiencing acute psychological or physical health conditions.

Materials Required

Please wear loose, comfortable clothing and bring extra layers to keep you warm while sitting and lying in stillness. Please bring a yoga-type mat, a small towel to fold and rest your head on and a blanket to keep you warm.
