Session 1: What is the Mind-body Connection

Learn the history and evolution of the science behind the recognition of the mind-body

connection and how it relates to modern-day life and developing resilience. Understand

the mechanisms within your body that operate to produce stress and its opposite,

relaxation and why both are important.
