Meditating seniors at Life Center

Meditation classes for seniors are now available at California State University, Sacramento’s Life Center in the historic Julia Morgan House at 3731 T St. The “Introduction to Meditation” class is a four-week course offered noon-1:30 p.m. on Tuesdays starting March 4.

Meditation boosts the immune system, reduces pain and alleviates stress, according to Joan Zeglarski, a Life Center meditation instructor. “Establishing a discipline to strengthen our minds as well as our bodies is critical throughout life and it is essential in our 50’s and beyond,” she said, “I know, I’m there.”

The class focuses on the physical, mental, interpersonal and spirit-enriching benefits of various meditation techniques for seniors. It includes presentations and practices designed to make meditation a part of everyday life.

For additional information, call the Life Center at (916) 227-5518. Media information is available by calling CSUS public affairs at (916) 278-6156.
