Yoga for Stress & Anxiety
Stress and anxiety affect your body and your mind. Gentle movement, relaxing breathing techniques, simple chanting, and soothing meditations can do wonders for bringing balance to your body and mind and help to relax your nervous system. Now more than ever, the world around us is stressful and uncertain. Regular yoga practice can help your body feel stronger and more flexible. It can also help your mind become more clear and focused. When your body and mind feel better you are much more capable of managing life’s stressors.
Class size is limited to 8 students so each person can get individual attention. Every student should schedule a complimentary 20 minute phone call with the instructor prior to the series beginning for a short intake session to address any specific goals, concerns, and questions.
No yoga experience necessary. Please contact me if you have any questions about this series. My email is jennbrandtyoga@gmail.com
