    Description

    How can you fundamentally change your relationship with the external world?
    Joining today to share the messages of the very latest cognitive research on yoga and meditation is Harvard Medical School's Sara Lazar.
    Sara’s research explores the brain at varying stages of life: tracking the effects of mindfulness on its composition and capability, and the applications this can have in patient care.
    Meditation is all about raising meta-cognitive awareness. Join us to find out how to start!
