Introduction to relaxation

In this 90-minute session we will look at the effects stress and anxiety have on our wellbeing and the benefits of relaxation.

We will discuss the different types of relaxation to consider, such as mindfulness and complementary therapies. There will also be opportunity to learn and experience relaxation techniques.

The aim is to introduce a better understanding of relaxation in order to help improve your wellbeing.

The session takes place from 10.30am to 12pm on a Tuesday, for patients supported by St Richard’s Hospice. It will be held in person in a group setting, in the welcoming surroundings of the hospice’s Living Well Centre and must be booked in advance.
