Stress Management

For all levels.

In a recent study, 75 percent of yoga students reported attending yoga classes for stress management, while 15 percent were using yoga specifically for depression or anxiety. Stress and disturbing emotions play a primary role in disease. It follows naturally that emotional health and the skills needed to relieve stress are fundamental to the physical body’s well-being. Yoga has tremendous potential for assisting people in reducing stress and the effects of stress-related diseases.

This workshop is designed to

• Relieve musculoskeletal tension and headaches
