Introduction: Its kind of a 2-for-1. You get an incredible physical workout, that will tone your muscles, increase your flexibility, and build cardiovascular health. You will also build (and the psychologist in me would argue that this is the most important) a deep awareness and appreciation for your physical and mental/emotional strength and flexibility. As I have spent much of my graduate career studying the affects of the body on the mind, and vis versa, I am able to help clients with depression, anxiety and trauma, as well as, daily (family and work) stress. The clients I have worked with in the capacity have reported gaining incredible insight and awareness on how they can use their body to manage their emotions and thoughts in a healthy and effective way. My years of training in psychology and working with clients in private practice, hospitals, and in primary care have truly been a blessing. Being a part of someone's journey toward overall health (physical and mental) has been an honor. Many of the people I have worked with have incredible daily stress, for many this stress began in childhood, and being in a position to help them build their coping and self-soothing skills through yoga is incredibly rewarding.
