Yoga + Mental Health

Yoga for Anxiety & Stress

This class expands the definition of yoga, as yoga extends far beyond postures and teaches a number of self-regulation tools for stress and anxiety. Recognize your automatic reactions, soothe the stress response, and become more resourced and resilient to respond to life's

challenges. Shift the body and brain's experience of stress with techniques like breath control, mindful attention, physical movement, progressive relaxation, and healthy lifestyle habits.

Yoga for Caregivers

Sometimes the caregiver is more focused on others than their own care and we begin to overidentify with the role of a caregiver. Learn yoga-based techniques to give ourselves care from the inside out. This class will have mat-based postures, self-kindness & mindfulness

exercises, and body-based relaxation.

Uplifting Yoga

Uplifting Yoga is a blend of mood-boosting postures and mindfulness exercises to cultivate mental stress relief. Moving our bodies can create changes in our minds: building resilience, endurance, and balance. Add new skills to your toolkit to balance mid-winter blues and rediscover joy from the inside out.

Yoga: A Mind & Body Practice

When we move our bodies in new ways and strengthen previously weak muscles, there is an effect on our minds. We feel more resilient, like we can handle more difficulties, and we trust ourselves more. This class is for people who can sit down on the floor and can go onto all fours. We will include an introduction to meditation in this class.

Trusting Your Body Again

Recovery from an injury or disease can lead to feelings of distrust in our own bodies. Will my body betray me (again)? With self-kindness, gentle movement, and deep relaxation we can create an environment where we begin to observe and interact with this “new” body, in hopes of letting go of judgement and pain from the past.
