Yoga for Anxiety and Depression
Befriending Your Nervous System: Yoga for Anxiety and Depression
In this yoga class we will explore breath work, gentle movement, and meditation to listen to and befriend our nervous system, which affects our psychology and how we see, sense, and engage with the world. Using the tools of yoga we will develop an understanding of our different nervous system states and use this knowledge to support our sense of well being. During our yoga practice we will listen to and attend to our nervous system, cultivate curiosity and compassion, and develop self-care strategies that nourish our mind, body, and spirit.
