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 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. By practicing asana, various positions and actions help us move our awareness away from hyper-kinetic mental states and towards body and breath awareness. This process creates the tools and habits needed for emotional health.
You will learn to:
Be more aware of the tension you hold in your body
Use 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
This series is for anyone looking to:
Manage stress, anxiety, or depression
Build emotional resilience and intelligence
Ease tension from chronic conditions like IBS, high blood pressure, headaches, or general unease
Cultivate a sense of calm, focus, and well-being
Improve overall health
Conditions that you may be experiencing include: depression, anxiety, GAD, IBS, headaches/migraines, high blood pressure, hypertension or just a general sense of unease or fear.
