Participants will learn skills that enable them to reduce stress and anxiety, strengthen their ability to experience the present moment, make wise choices, take effective action and feel more in sync with themselves and others.  The group will begin with yogic breathing followed by a ten minute meditation. The next portion of the group will be for group members to process current struggles and provide feedback and support to one another. The final thirty minutes teaches yoga postures that will enable participants to feel more grounded, to become aware of stress-related tension and learn how to consciously relax effected areas, and techniques to discover and trust in their body's wisdom.  This is an on-going Tuesday evening group.

This is a skills group geared towards those who may not feel they need "therapy", but would like to be more effective in their careers, feel more fulfilled in their lives or manage their own emotions in the context of a loved one who may be suffering from a mental illness.  The group will be structured like a class and participants will learn skills to help them become mindful, manage stress, regulate emotions and ultimately improve each area of their lives through a deeper self-understanding.  This group would also be suitable for mental health professionals interested in learning DBT skills in order to teach them to their clients.  This is an On-Going Tuesday Evening group.
