Yoga for Anxiety & Depression


  • Breathing Room 216 Crown Street New Haven United States (map)

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

This series class has evolved each time it has been run. The instructor intends to leave space for keeping the content relevant to the tumultuous times we are all enduring.

This series is designed to help the participants to become empowered to support their treatment of their anxiety and/or depression 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 class is for beginner to advanced Yoga practitioners. Some previous Yoga experience is recommended but not necessary. Come embrace your own healing journey alongside others on a similar path!

ABOUT THE TEACHER
Amy is a Certified Yoga Therapist who specializes in back pain, chronic pain, anxiety, depression, and more. Yoga Therapy is 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. Over a decade long personal Yoga practice has shifted as she went through periods of intense grief, despair AND joy. It is her passion and privilege to share this practice with others, so they too can experience the support Yoga offers.
