Our busy lifestyles often leave us in a state of heightened stress with little to no refuge. During this workshop you
will learn therapeutic yogic techniques that you can incorporate into your daily life to alleviate the symptoms of
stress on the emotions, mind, digestion and body.

  • October 1: Emotional Stress - Our emotions are a barometer of our stress levels and can become easily
    overwhelmed by the frustrations of daily life. During the first session, learn how to counteract irritability,
    depression, and anxiety with mild inversions, pranayama (breath control), and mudras (hand gestures) that
    bring about a feeling of calm.
  • October 8: Digestive Stress - The fire of our digestive systems can be easily unbalanced by long-term
    stress. Learn to recognize the symptoms of digestive stress and how to balance the fire in the belly with
    gentle twists, kriyas (cleansing techniques), and mudras.
  • October 15: Physical Stress - Extended periods of stress can either make us feel tired or wired. We will
    begin this session with repetitive movements to burn off excess nervous energy followed by restorative
    poses, pranayama, and mudras to allow for complete physical relaxation & restoration.
  • October 22: Mental Stress - Circular thoughts and worrying can trap the mind in a negative loop, making
    stress even harder to overcome. During our final session, learn how to recognize this negative pattern and
    calm your mind. We will close with a Yoga Nidra session that will be available for downloading and listening
    to at home.

the time to turn inward is beneficial for anyone dealing with chronic stress and illness. It allows us to listen
to our bodies in new ways that can have a grounding and healing affect on the body, mind and emotions.
