Yoga for Depression and Anxiety
We hold the past in our bodies as well as in our mind. Emotional and mental issues, be it stress, depression, or anxiety are often the result of long-term tension patterns, which create blockages in our energy flow.
When energy doesn't flow freely, our light is dimmed, and we cannot stand in our fullness. Yoga therapy can help create greater emotional well-being by releasing tension and dissolving the emotional blocks that hold us back from living a happy, healthy life. A regular yoga therapy practice over the long term can be a powerful tool for emotional healing and integration.
