Dr Aaron Boster is an award-winning, widely published, and board-certified neurologist specialising in multiple sclerosis and related CNS inflammatory disorders.

Meditation and Yoga with Patricia Hawley
Wednesday 20th March at 5pm UK time / 1pm ET
Join Patricia Hawley in March 2024 for yoga and meditation. This month's theme is 'Renewal and Balance'.
Meditation (20 March): In honour of the Spring Equinox and the first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere, let's meet for a meditative practice based on our innate ability to find a sense of balance in the newly emerging season. Patricia Hawley will begin with breathwork to regulate the nervous system, then settle into stillness with a grounding practice. We'll nurture any 'seeds' we've planted so far this year and root them into our foundations, finding the peaceful home within us.
