Relief from Stress, Depression and Anxiety
If you have been struggling with mood changes, SAD, depression, anxiety, PTSD, there may be another way. Lately, scientists have begun to discover what yogis have known for centuries; that yoga is good for the brain.
This workshop is specifically designed to relieve the suffering caused by depression and anxiety. It is not about "doing" the perfect posture, but rather "undoing" all of the places in the body where sadness, loss, and worry have been stored.

During the workshop we will explore:
  • accessible postures (with options and modifications) designed to uplift the "weight" of depression, and release the "charge" of anxiety;
  • breathing practices that are energizing for a depressed state or calming for restless minds cause by anxiety; and
  • techniques to assist in decreasing insomnia, or interrupted sleep patterns.
Cost: $75.00 per person.
