Yoga has been scientifically proven to support anxiety in the body and mind.

This 2 hour workshop is designed to help educate the practitioner about the ways in which Yoga views our mental health and state of being. We will learn ancient yogic teachings that have never been more relevant in modern times.

These teachings give us tangible ways to support our mental being as we are, right now.
No matter your faith or background, Yoga offers a richness to our mental health journey that is designed to work with all layers of who we are: mind, body and soul.

Outline:

• Learn yogic teachings such as the three Gunas and Pratipaksha Bhavana and how it relates to the experience of anxiety.

• Breath-centered Yoga practices that meet the way in which anxiety shows up in our bodies

• Physical postures and movements to discharge excess anxious energy in order to make space to ground and soothe the bodymind

• Breath-work designed to soothe and relaxation techniques to send you back out into your world in a calm and centered state

• Brief take-away sent after class so you can implement these practices right away

This practice is based on a Biopsychosocialspirtual modality. In other words, it addresses the whole being: mind, body, energy, spirit. We will cover the “Recovering movement in persistent pain” model adopted from Neil Pearson, a PT and Yoga Therapist, whose life work is to support those with chronic pain. The remainder of the workshop will weave in yogic philosophy, gentle dynamic movements with breath awareness, breath work, and relaxation techniques. We will discuss what it means to calm your nervous system and address your body. The intention is that you leave feeling more empowered to navigate your journey of wellbeing and life.

"As a bio-plastic being, we change and adapt with new and repeated activities, until our very last breath" - "Yoga and Science in Pain Care"

ABOUT THE TEACHER
Amy lives in Wallingford, CT and practice and teach in New Haven county.

"My practice and trainings are based in Yoga Therapy, a therapeutic, individualized variation to the practice. This approach to Yoga takes into account our unique situations and invites the practice to be molded to suit us, rather than us to suit the practice. It is my passion and privilege to have worked with many individuals over the past 4 years and to watch the impact Yoga has on their physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Yoga has helped me soothe and heal my personal anxiety and physical discomfort. Being a Yoga Therapist has bridged my passion for Yoga and purposeful desire to help others. It is my dharma (purpose) in this life."

Yoga has been scientifically proven to support emotional well-being and inner peace. The breath-centered exercises, meditation, and Pranayamas (breathing exercises) of Yoga have been mindfully studied and selected to meet the individual needs of the practitioner suffering from anxiety and depression.

Mental health has never become more relevant. This workshop intends to acknowledge those who have been suffering long before recent worldly events and those who have noticed an increase in symptoms or are experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and grief - for the first time. This workshop is designed to help the participants to become empowered to support their treatment of their anxiety, depression, or grief with Yoga practices meant to meet the needs of their emotional state at any moment or day. This practice is an empowering reminder that we have the innate ability to heal ourselves within our own beings.

This workshop is for beginner to advanced Yoga practitioners. Some previous Yoga experience is recommended but not necessary.

Yoga Nidra is an ancient time tested practice. Nidra means sleep. Yoga Nidra is Yogic sleep. It is a guided meditation practice where you may be lying on the floor with pillows and blankets, lying in your bed, or coach. It can even be done seated. Where-ever one is most comfortable. The intention is to stay awake so that we can arrive in the semi-sleep state where deep healing occurs. You cannot do Yoga Nidra wrong and anyone can practice it! A 45 minute practice equates to 3-4 hours of sleep! The deep rest we can all use more of right now
