A Talk on Women's Heart Health and a Heart-Healthy Yoga Workshop

Faculty from Saint Joseph College’s School of Pharmacy will be speaking at West Hartford Yoga about heart health and health disparities surrounding heart attacks in women along with some simple steps to help limit the impact of work-related stress. The Saint Joseph College School of Pharmacy has been selected to coordinate a public awareness campaign - Make the Call. Don’t Miss A Beat - geared toward educating women about the signs and symptoms of a heart attack and the importance of calling 9-1-1 when these symptoms arise. Immediately following this discussion, there will be a 75-minute heart-healthy yoga workshop led by Shankara Newton, a yogi of 20 years, who will teach you how to nourish your body, relax your mind, and de-stress through self-acceptance. This event is free of charge and will take place at West Hartford Yoga located on 23 Brook Street in West Hartford.
