Yoga for Anxiety & Depression
Mon / Thu at 7:30 - 9:00 pm
RSVP - ASAP
Max 10 people allowed.

We are going to utilize variety of yoga techniques, from movement to meditation, pranayama, visualizations, and much more...to help you reconnect with the joy and peace of being and living.

No yoga experience is necessary. Commitment and participation in all classes will improve results. Movements and postures are chosen in order to develop mindfulness and attention to the present moment, and not from a workout perspective.

According to the April, 2009 issue of the Harvard Mental Health Letter, "by reducing perceived stress and anxiety, yoga appears to modulate stress response systems. This, in turn, decreases physiological arousal - for example, reducing the heart rate, lowering blood pressure, and easing respiration." "There is also evidence that yoga helps increase heart rate variability, an indicator of the body's flexibility in responding to stress," Harvard reported.

In several studies in recent years, yoga has been found to improve mood and reduce medication in people suffering from depression and anxiety regardless of the reason. Whether cancer, or chronic illness, trauma, or loss and grief, yoga has been shown to improve mood, foster a sense of well being, decrease anxiety, chronic fatigue, sadness, and much more to the tune of 65 - 73% better than traditional therapies alone.
