Featured Event: Rooted in Breath – Honoring the Origins of Yoga and Finding Stillness Together

Facilitator:
Join Meenakshi Wadhwa, Registered Dietitian Nutritionist in Clinical Nutrition at UI Health and certified yoga instructor, as she guides a chair-accessible session centered on mindfulness, intentional movement, and deep breathing. The session begins with a brief reflection on yoga’s origins in South Asian culture and its continued significance as a spiritual and physical practice.

Special Feature: For those attending in person, a live gong will be used to enhance the meditative experience. While the session is open to all virtually, in-person participation is encouraged to take full advantage of this unique and immersive sound element. This experience offers a meaningful opportunity to honor cultural roots while promoting mental, physical, and emotional wellness. All levels are welcome—no prior yoga experience necessary.
