SKY RSO Presents Online 'Meditation Retreat' for U of A Faculty, Staff and Students

In collaboration with the SKY club at the University of California, San Francisco, SKY@UofA RSO is delighted to announce the online SKY Happiness Retreat offered for faculty, staff and students of U of A from Feb 18-20. 

The retreat offers an in-depth experience of effortless meditation, breath work, yoga and more. SKY (Sudarshan Kriya Yoga) Meditation uses cyclical, rhythmic patterns of breath to easily bring the mind and body into a state of meditation.

It significantly increases feelings of well-being, optimism and mental focus and improves emotion regulation (research on SKY Meditation and Psychology Today article).
