For decades, scientists believed the brain was mostly fixed after childhood. It turns out they were wildly wrong.
Join us for a fun, eye-opening evening exploring neuroplasticity, the brain’s remarkable ability to adapt, heal, and form new connections throughout life. We’ll practice a gentle Love Your Brain yoga session, in a chair or on the floor, and dig into how mindfulness, movement, learning, and relationships can build resilience and support mental wellness.
Love Your Brain is a foundation that supports people with traumatic brain injury and their caregivers, with a focus on one powerful idea: the brain can heal. Those same tools, like mindfulness, gentle movement, and connection, can help anyone manage stress, sharpen focus, and feel more emotionally balanced. Brain injury touches more lives than most of us realize, and everyone has a brain worth caring for.
Along the way, you’ll enjoy time for refreshments, socializing, and group discussion. Whether you’re recovering from a challenge, supporting someone else, or simply curious about how the brain works, you’ll leave with practical tools and a deeper appreciation for the brain’s incredible capacity to heal.
No yoga experience needed. Go at your own pace.
And yes, there will be snacks, because growing new connections takes energy.
