Psychology researcher David B. Yaden, a wellness instructor at Our Lady of Lourdes Medical Center and the chaplain at Rutgers University, will present a program about obstacles to acting on health recommendations at 6:30 p.m., January 21, at the William G. Rohrer Center for HealthFitness, on The University of Pennsylvania campus. This free event is hosted by Women’s Wellness Connection of SJ.

Most of us know the importance of proper sleep, diet and exercise habits but find them hard put into practice. In this presentation, Yaden will explore stress relief techniques such as deep relaxation, meditation and self-hypnosis.

In addition, biofeedback technology will be demonstrated, which allows participants to see their heart rate and muscle tension decrease on a computer screen as the mind and body relaxes. Attendees will take home a personalized wellness program that they can start right away.

Location: 2309 Evesham Rd., Rooms 2 and 3, Voorhees. For more information and to preregister (required), call 609-221- 2285 or email [email protected].
