Your path to optimal health
Mental health
Thoughts, beliefs and emotions affect each layer of self, and how we interact with our environment. Our all too busy lives can easily create busy minds and disrupt the ways we function and recover from life’s inevitable physical, mental, and emotional challenges. This can lead to anxiety, stress, sleep disturbance, depression, overwhelm, and trauma responses that can be felt physically and emotionally as sensation. This can affect the ways we move, breathe, think, and respond to what’s happening in, and around us.
Yoga therapy helps you explore whatever may need to be acknowledged, or understood
There is a direct relationship between our nervous system and the amount of stimulus (volume, and/or intensity) it receives, with each stimulus demanding a response, and adaptation to how we function in the world. This can sometimes feel overwhelming, or have a long history, each creating dis-ease in our body-minds, and relationships.
…exactly as you are
