 relaxation exercises shown to reduce the experience of stress and have a 
 positive impact on health and well-being. Get ready for the next moment 
 from a place of calm and clarity.\n\nSessions start September 14 and end 
 December 14 (10/12 is skipped). If you need to miss a session\, no

 have read and been informed by this information.  \n\n \n\nPRECAUTIONS WHEN 
 PARTICIPATING IN WESTCHESTER LIBRARY SYSTEM PROGRAMS FOR WESTCHESTER 
 BREATHES\n\nWestchester Breathes is grounded in the work of Dr. Richard 
 Brown and Dr. Patricia Gerbarg – two clinical psychologists who 
 identified\, studied\, and currently teach simple\, effective voluntary 
 regulated breathing exercises shown to reduce the experience of stress and 
 increase the ability of the body to self-soothe and heal. Together these 
 practices are known as Breath-Body-Mind™ (BBM).\n\nIn participating in 
 this class\, you will learn ancient and modern techniques to relieve stress 
 and improve physical and mental well-being. The practices are safe for most 
 people. Nevertheless\, some people may experience physical discomfort\, 
 particularly if they have had recent injury or surgery\, joint pain\, back 
 pain\, muscle pain\, or a very sedentary lifestyle.  \n\nBBM practices can 
 be done gently\, sitting\, or lying down if necessary. Listen to your body. 
 If you experience physical discomfort\, stop\, relax\, and seek guidance 
 from the instructor.\n\nSometimes during the practices\, emotions emerge\, 
 such as sadness\, worry\, or anger. Usually\, such feelings are mild to 
 moderate\, short-term\, and easy to manage. However\, if you experience 
 intense or disturbing emotions during the practices\, please ask the 
 instructor for support and guidance. If distress persists\, ask the 
 instructor for advice before continuing.\n\nPlease consult your personal 
 physician if you have had recent surgery\, uncontrolled high blood 
 pressure\, recent heart attack\, or difficulty breathing before doing these 
 practices. The instructor may need to modify some of the practices for 
 individuals with certain physical or emotional issues.  \n\nPlease inform 
 the instructor ahead of time if you have any of the following conditions: 
 uncontrolled bipolar disorder\, schizophrenia\, autism spectrum\, panic 
 disorder\, flashbacks or dissociation\, acute or severe asthma\, moderate 
 to severe chronic obstructive lung disease\, recent coronavirus with 
 residual cough or airway sensitivity. If you have post-coronavirus airway 
 sensitivity\, you may need to do the breath practices more gently and avoid 
 forceful breathing.\n\nAlso\, please notify the instructor if you are 
 pregnant. Pregnant women can benefit from Coherent Breathing. However\, 
 they should avoid breath holding\, forceful breath practices\, and lying on 
 their right side (in the 3rd trimester).\n\nThe practices being taught in 
 this workshop are not intended to be a substitute for medical diagnosis or 
 treatment of any specific condition. If you suspect that you have a 
 physical or mental condition\, please consult your personal physician or 
 primary healthcare provider.

 moderate\, short-term\, and easy to manage. However\, if you experience 
 intense or disturbing emotions during the practices\, please ask the 
 instructor for support and guidance. If distress persists\, ask the 
 instructor for advice before continuing.\n\nPlease consult your personal
