Oncologist Rob Rutledge, will co-lead this series (see their bios here). When/what is the time commitment: The videoconference runs every Friday 9am MST for 90 minutes from May 15 until July 3. Daily ‘home practice’ (suggested minimum 15 minutes per day) and other exercises will be assigned every week.
