Gentle Therapeutic Yoga with Jennifer:
Therapeutic Yoga skillfully blends movement (yoga poses/somatic exploration) and breathwork, with a meditative focus for a full body practice that calms, nurtures, strengthens and opens one into flexibility of body and mind.
Yoga is protective and enlivening.
Freeing you from habitual patterns of tension, this yoga creates a sense of spaciousness within, dissolves stress, strengthens core muscles, joint health, centeredness, postural alignment and groundedness, increases breath capacity and breath awareness, shifts stagnant emotions into movement and release, and is attentive to the subtle stuff of the mind, helping to free us from the driving forces of unconscious actions and thoughts.
This yoga is trauma aware, centering, and serenity building for gently living your beautiful life.
You’ll practice yogic techniques that you can bring into your everyday experience for simply living a good day, and for increasing your capacity to be creatively present in your life. A yogic attitude toward self and practice is one of kindness, patience, and tenderness. We grow into our best selves in an inner atmosphere of loving care.
You’re most welcome to join in and enjoy! All levels of practice are welcome! Beginners are welcome!Contact Information: studenthealth@uconn.edu More

Neurodiversity Support Group
Thursday, January 26th, 202303:00 PM - 04:00 PMStorrs CampusGroup referral
The Neurodiversity Support group is for students who identify as being on the autism spectrum or as neurodiverse.
Starting college is a time of big changes. You’re meeting new people in a new environment and have new expectations placed on you. Common challenges for students on the autism spectrum have fewer resources and support, building new relationships, adjusting to increased independence, time management, academic challenges, and managing stress and anxiety.
The goal of the group is to provide emotional support and psychoeducation to assist with navigating life as a college student. In addition, the hope is that you will feel accepted and supported by other students.
