Questioning the past can leave us feeling regretful, ashamed, or sad. When we worry about the future, uncertainty can put us on edge and make us feel overwhelmed. When we are present, we feel calmer, more connected, and are more likely to be responsive versus reactive. Yoga therapy is a transformative practice for today's hectic world. Yoga therapy helps us connect with and draw from the wisdom of our bodies, so we can keep one foot in the present, while learning from the past and planning for the future.
Healing begins from the inside out. Through focus on the breath, you are encouraged to feel your way through familiar poses, guided to a place where body sensations connect to the mind, a quiet place where insight is translated into action. Join me for a group yoga therapy practice focusing on using the body and the breath to manage your mood.
