WESTCHESTER BREATHES

The prolonged pandemic has challenged all of us – in ways both big and small.  If there was ever a time to take a breath and practice self-care, it is now.  WLS offers free instruction in simple breathing exercises that have been proven to reduce the experience of stress and increase the sense of calm and well-being.  The exercises work for all ages and abilities.  No special gear needed.
