Are you feeling a little less than fantastic these days? Got a case of the blues?
Have you been talking to a therapist but still feel stressed out and anxious?
You might consider adding a light yoga or mindfulness practice to your health routine.
Yoga can be done by anyone of any age or skill level.
Taking a little time out for yourself to pause, breathe, and reflect upon the moment; while checking in with your body can be a fulfilling way to help relax! Yoga is a process of gently moving the body into multiple positions.
Just 30 minutes of yoga three days a week for one month can help one to become calmer, more grounded, and optimistic while improving flexibility, balance, posture and energy. The exercises can also benefit the support of a more supple spine while strengthening the bones and muscles!
As a bonus: yoga practice especially, ones facilitated by a yoga teacher trained in Trauma Sensitive Yoga techniques in conjunction with continuing to meet with one’s mental health therapist or licensed clinical social worker can help reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma and even post-traumatic stress disorder, (PTSD).
