BioSpa

A space for relaxing and learning

Take a few slow, deep breaths

We’ll talk about how that works to calm us down in the Respiratory Guide.  For now, our jobs are to become healthy enough to be able to think and form memories, the basis of learning.  We’re sharing a few of our favorite techniques to manage unwelcome stress.  Collect your own mental & physical practices, and if you can tie them to the Human Biology Outcomes, they can be part of your final Human Biology Portfolio.

Note: if you feel you would benefit from professional assistance to weather the storm, or want someone to talk with, please reach out.   We have a few ideas at this link:
