This workshop helps calm and transport participants with breathing, guided imagery, meditation and self-muscular relaxation techniques that produce the same deep states of tranquility as an ocean breeze or soothing massage.

These classic relaxation exercises can help reduce blood pressure, body tension and unhealthy cravings while boosting energy, concentration and the ability to fall asleep faster. The benefits of these techniques are immediate, and investing just a few hours to learn them can yield a lifetime of payoffs for personal health and professional endeavors.

Facilitator: Jordan Friedman
Jordan Friedman is the author of The Stress Manager's Manual, and you may already know him as a voice of 'Alice,' the first online source of straightforward answers to questions about stress, sex and other wellness topics on Columbia University's acclaimed Go Ask Alice web site.

His work has been quoted and promoted by The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Entrepreneur, CNN, National Public Radio and O Magazine among others. 

Jordan studied stress management education at the University of Maryland, followed by a master's degree in Public Health from New York University. When he is not on the road, Jordan lives, works and manages his own stress in New York City. 

Light refreshments will be served!

I encourage you to invite other Hunter College students. Students who attend four presentations during the semester will receive a Certificate of Attendance from the Dean of Students Office.
