Why Yoga?
Traumatic experiences and/or a tendency toward chronic anxiety can actually “wire” your brain for danger, causing stress responses (such as feeling very escalated/on-edge or shutdown, fatigued and numb) to fire too quickly and frequently. Yogic practices like movement, breathwork, grounding and meditation can actually help “rewire” your brain to access a state of safety and peace more often!
Yogic practices can:
- Build confidence, awareness, and a sense of empowerment
- Help you learn to regulate your mood and regain control over your body and mind, even in difficult life situations
- Help ease hypervigilance (that constant “on-edge” feeling)
- Help prevent numbing/disconnecting to avoid uncomfortable emotions
- Help develop clarity and present-minded thinking (vs. being stuck in worrying about the past or future)
- Increase strength, flexibility, and provide relief from chronic muscle aches and pains caused by stress
- Help with falling and staying asleep
- Create an overall sense of calm and peace
