Join Professor Igor Iwanek (CFA) and Grammy-nominated tabla player Amit Kavthekar<\/span> in learning the practice of Rhythmic Breath Control (RBC).<\/p>\n

Imagine your body is the hardware and your mind is the software. How do we keep this machine charged? RBC teaches you to create a power station for your body and mind using breath guided by rhythms of North Indian Classical music. Studies have shown how<\/em> we breathe relates to how healthy we are, and in this interactive session, we’ll learn powerful ancient techniques of Naad Yog (yoga of sound) <\/span>designed to promote emotional resilience and holistic wellbeing.<\/p>\n

Learning Objectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Improve cognitive performance and self-management in stressful situations with RBC.<\/li>\n
  2. Learn to recreate the profound relaxation of deep sleep, on demand.<\/li>\n
