Yoga to ease Anxiety + Depression
with Julie Pons Woods

Available reviews of a wide range of yoga practices suggest they can reduce the impact of exaggerated stress responses and may be helpful for both anxiety and depression. In this respect, yoga functions like other self-soothing techniques, such as meditation, relaxation, exercise, or even socializing with friends.

By reducing perceived stress and anxiety, yoga appears to modulate stress response systems. This, in turn, decreases physiological arousal — for example, reducing the heart rate, lowering blood pressure, and easing respiration. There is also evidence that yoga practices help increase heart rate variability, an indicator of the body's ability to respond to stress more flexibly.

Julie invites you to discover these techniques during a 2hrs workshop. 

We will explore pranayama, postures, mudras, sankalpa and will have some spare time for restorative yoga. All the different tools presented during these 2 hrs will help you include easy techniques into your daily life.
