Yoga for Stress and Anxiety

This restorative class offers gentle movements and meditation, focused on calming emotional and physical impacts of stress and anxiety. Classes will involve deep stretching and releasing tension in hips, shoulders, and back.

Themes of classes include:

• Self-compassion

• Loving kindness for self and others

• Gratitude

• Connecting with your inner strength

• Finding balance

• Exploring energy blockages

• Inviting stillness

• Examining your gifts

Research shows that yoga, which is a physical mindfulness practice, relieves symptoms of anxiety, depression, and trauma, by activating the parasympathetic nervous system, which controls our ‘rest and digest’ response and induces relaxation by sending calming signals to the body and brain. The physical postures and stretching in this class facilitate a deep release in the connective tissue and muscles, alleviating areas of the body which hold tension and stress. 

Classes will include grounding/centering; restorative postures; gentle flowing movements; and a short debriefing. All levels welcome. Please indicate any physical limitations beforehand, as modifications are possible with every posture.

Class will be held virtually and require a yoga mat or soft ground area, 2-3 pillows, and a blanket.

* Note this class does not serve as a substitute for therapy.
