Yoga For Stress Reduction
With regular practice, yoga is effective in managing anxiety, stress, depression, and OCD symptoms. Our yoga sessions focus on breathing techniques and restorative poses to increase flexibility, decrease tension, and counteract the body's natural fight-or-flight response. Yoga increases body awareness and works to disrupt negative thought patterns.
