You Do You
Every person has their own unique reactions to the stresses of life. Does stress make you tired, wired, or totally tapped out? Do you have difficulty with focus, concentration, or clear thinking? Is stress showing up with headaches, gut problems, sleep difficulties, or tightness and tension? Is stress making pain in your body worse? Do you find your mood impacted? The tools of yoga can be adapted for every person to navigate the symptoms of stress.
What We Offer in This Workshop
Exploration of yoga postures, adaptations of postures, short accessible breathing and meditation practices, and guided relaxation in 3 take-home yoga practices with a focus on:
- Totally Tapped Out & Tired: Managing fatigue, gently coaxing your body when your energy bank account is low, dealing with a poor night’s sleep, rejuvenating
- Dealing with Fight or Flight, Anger, Agitation: Processing stress hormones, shifting mood, cultivating calmness and steadiness.
- Wired: How to come down after a stressful day for better sleep, managing restless legs, and setting the stage for better gut health (practice leads into savasana and soundbath)
