According to a Harvard Health Digest review, up to 90% of all doctor visits can be attributed to stress-related complaints. Because the body, mind and breath are so intimately connected by our nervous system, when thoughts, feelings and emotions dominate our daily life, this has an impact on all of our physical systems; digestive, respiratory, endocrine, musculoskeletal and nervous to name a few.
This restorative and healing series is for anybody wanting to learn how to support, improve and/or manage their overall health with a focus on the mind and emotions. Through restorative asana, supportive variations, and breath awareness, you’ll learn how to shift from hyper-kinetic mental states toward grounded body and breath awareness. This process provides practical tools and habits for emotional health and resilience.
You will learn to:
Be more aware of the tension you hold in your body
Use restorative and supported asana and breathing to notice and develop helpful mind states
Tailor specific asana and breathing techniques to manage your unique situation/condition
Cultivate a feeling of spaciousness - in the body, the mind and the breath
