Exercise Shouldn’t Leave You More Exhausted – Stress-Relief Through Movement & Sound Bowl Yoga Workshop
Registration Now Open
 
Sometimes we turn to exercise to improve our health, yet we lack the motivation or feel even more exhausted afterward…
Not only does our body feel drained, but our mind feels weary too.
Despite constant minor ailments, health checkups show everything’s normal.
Stress, anxiety, and irregular routines can leave our bodies running on overdrive—foot on the gas, but the brakes of the parasympathetic nervous system just can’t keep up.
This imbalance makes it hard to relax and rest, leading to cycles of exhaustion and unprocessed negative emotions.
Healing begins with awareness.
By tuning into the body, we reconnect with the mind and restore inner resilience.
Let us return to a place of physical and emotional calm and ease.
This year, the Center for Physical Education once again blends mindfulness with physical activity. From a mental health perspective, we invite you to explore the connection between mind and body through guided movement.
With the theme of “Self-Care,” this program aims to enhance self-awareness, manage stress and anxiety, and improve overall mental and life quality.
We welcome students to join these gentle movement sessions—take a moment to pause, breathe, and refresh.
