Simple Yoga Practices to Manage Stress & Anxiety

In this workshop, Ginny will share gentle practices to guide us toward a more mindful mindset, helping us to overcome anxiety and stress in daily situations.

Yoga therapy is an effective, complementary tool in the management of anxiety and stress. Stress is not a bad thing – in fact, it is a normal and necessary reaction to difficult circumstances. However, it is our interpretation and reaction to stress, and whether or not we can let go of the stress after the event has passed, which will determine our ability to return to equilibrium and clarity.

Topics Covered:
* Understand what stress and anxiety are and how they affect your body and mind
* Learn gentle, mindful yogic practices that can be used to transform fear, stress and anxiety as well as help you be feel and know your body and its messages
* Learn simple and effective affirmations and mantras which can effectively change your mood
* Be reminded of the power of slowing down
* Tap into the practices of self-compassion and gratitude.

All are welcome to this workshop. No yoga experience is required.
